PROGRAM INFORMATION
In New Zealand, the term VET is not used, as that is Australian. Here, courses are Certificates and Diplomas within the NZQCF, the national qualifications framework, and they are delivered by polytechnic institutes and private training establishments (PTEs), not universities. They are practical and employment-oriented programs. The advantage over a language course is clear: a Level 4 or higher course automatically brings a part-time work permit of up to 25 hours per week during the study period, and those lasting a full academic year include full-time work during holidays. New Zealand stands out above all in hospitality, business, IT, and early childhood education, and most courses last from six months to two years.
A vocational course at level 4 or above gives you part-time work rights from the start, with no minimum-weeks barrier. You train in a sector where New Zealand hires: hospitality, business, IT, early childhood education. And you can work up to 25 hours a week alongside it, full-time during holidays if your course runs a full academic year. When you finish, you step up to a higher-level course and keep moving.
From 6 months to 2 years (Certificate to Diploma)
Up to 25 hours/week automatically at level 4+ (full-time during holidays if the course runs a full academic year)
The school's own English test (some diplomas ask for IELTS ~5.5)
Several intakes a year (February and July, plus rolling starts)

I had issues with my WHV in Australia and ended up moving to New Zealand, and honestly, the support has been incredible. Eduardo gives you all the confidence and the push you need to start the adventure, and it's absolutely worth it. To anyone who's on the fence, the answer is YES!

What started as a temporary experience became a profound, wonderful life change. My daughter now lives in Melbourne, has obtained Australian citizenship, and has recently been offered a place to study Medicine.

We were already at check-in, just over an hour before the flight, when they spotted an issue with the visa. We contacted them and within minutes they told us exactly what to do and had it all sorted.

They applied for my visa on July 1st and got it approved on the first try. When I arrived in Sydney, they kept supporting and guiding me throughout my entire stay.

Take the leap. We help with your visa and your course, and we're there to welcome you with open arms at your destination.
What everyone asks us on the first call.
Yes, and more easily than with a language course. A vocational course at NZQCF level 4 or above comes with automatic part-time work rights: up to 25 hours a week during term. If the course also runs a full academic year, you can work full-time during the holidays too. There's no minimum-length barrier like the one on short English courses.
For most vocational courses the school runs its own English test. Higher diplomas may ask for an IELTS of around 5.5. If you're not there yet, we set up an English course first and link it to the vocational one.
Yes, and it's the most common combination. Most people start with an English course to reach the level the school asks for, then move straight into the vocational course within the same visa plan. We help you define the combination and the full calendar on the free call.
You can step up to a higher-level course, from a Certificate to a Diploma or a Postgraduate Diploma, and keep studying in New Zealand by renewing your student visa for each new course. Every step builds your CV. We plan what fits with you on the first call.
