Provider Based API
Purpose
This document is for tertiary education organisations (TEOs) delivering provider-based learning reporting via the Single Data Return (SDR). It has information about the data that the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) requires when you report actual delivery (Actuals) via SDR on our new Data Exchange Platform (DXP).
This document does not include information about the data reported outside the SDR (e.g., other funds such as Fees Free, Workforce Questionnaire and Commitments).
This is not a user guide. We’ll publish the DXP user guide separately.
The requirement to submit data
The TEC and the Ministry of Education (MoE) require data submitted by TEOs for the purposes of funding, monitoring performance, publishing performance information, statistical reporting, and policy formation.
All TEOs that receive TEC funding for qualification delivery or foundation education – including Youth Guarantee and learners with student loans or allowances – must complete regular SDRs. All learners with confirmed enrolments must be reported, including non-funded learners.
Each TEO is responsible for the integrity of data it provides to the TEC.
Three excerpts from the Education and Training Act 2020 support data submissions from TEOs:
1. Section 254 of the Education and Training Act 2020

(a) may be held by the Ministry on behalf of TEC or NZQA; and
(b) may be disclosed by the Ministry to TEC or NZQA or to any other person or agency that is entitled to receive it.

Conditions on receiving funding
