A private training school in south Auckland has been shut down after the qualifications authority found it had failed to meet crucial standards. ``NZQA is working with a high quality tertiary education organisation who will provide a full package of learning and support for ATI students. Quality assurance was something NZQA takes extremely seriously, Dr Klinkum said, to ensure New Zealand qualifications were robust, credible and internationally recognised. ``The great majority of providers deliver excellent tertiary education and conform to the rules and requirements.'' The meeting was held amid concerns such colleges were abusing the international student visa system.
