"At first, I was considering other cities and universities, but when I came to Hamilton, I really liked it. It felt like the perfect balance between a large city and a smaller town. When I sat my IELTS exam at Wintec, I was impressed by the facilities and campus, and after learning more about the New Zealand Certificate in Information Technology, I decided to study here.

My studies have had a significant impact on my professional development. The programme provided me with a strong foundation and the confidence to continue building a career in IT. I also value the excellent facilities, especially the Hub, the green spaces, and the support from highly qualified tutors.

One thing that really impressed me about New Zealand is the way people value and share their culture. Through the marae experience at Wintec, I was able to learn about Māori culture firsthand. The friendliness of the Kiwi people and the lifestyle in Hamilton have also made a lasting impression on me. One of the best parts of my experience was studying alongside people of different ages and backgrounds, which made learning more enriching. My goal is to continue developing professionally, gain more international certifications, and eventually start my own business in the computer industry.

I would definitely recommend Wintec to students from around the world. It offers quality education and the opportunity to truly experience life in New Zealand. Studying in Hamilton has been one of the best decisions I have made. "
