As at October 2003, there were 33 registered PTEs that self-identified as Pasifika providers. There had been limited turnover in the number of Pasifika providers, with no new registrations in the previous 12 months, two de-registrations and one application currently under consideration. This was a much lower rate of turnover than for all PTEs.

Nine percent of Pasifika PTEs (that have been registered for more than six months) were on audit cycles of less than one year, for reasons of quality concerns. This is three times the proportion of all PTEs. Twenty-seven percent of Pasifika PTEs were on audit cycles of two or more years, indicating robust and stable processes, compared with 43 percent of all PTEs.

The NZQA has established a unit which provides support for Pasifika provider development. In 2003, NZQA was working with 15 Pasifika providers to develop their quality assurance systems.

There are also a number of community based Pasifika for Pasifika providers. Recent work in the adult literacy area has included a pilot project for community based learning involving around 200 Pasifika adult learners.
