Our English language programmes are ideal for migrants and refugees who wish to improve their opportunities in both work and study in New Zealand.
Students enter the programmes at a level that best corresponds to their current capability and can progress all the way through the New Zealand Certificates in English Language. Students have the opportunity to take the IELTS and OET exams, and, following completion, can continue on to study at Wintec | Te Pūkenga or beyond across a large array of programmes.
Explore our programmes below and find more information about our IELTS centre and OET exams, including upcoming exam preparation courses and exam dates.
