Public Institutes of Technology / Polytechnics
Thứ Hai - 01/12/2025
In New Zealand, Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) are public institutions. Their main purpose is to provide training at diploma, advanced diploma, and bachelor’s levels, and some institutions also offer master’s programs. A key difference in bachelor’s training at these colleges/polytechnics is that their programs tend to be more practical and hands-on. These institutions follow similar academic calendars to universities in terms of start and end dates. Graduates can enter the workforce immediately or progress to higher levels of study.

Private Training Providers (PTEs)
There are many private institutions in New Zealand, some offering multi-disciplinary programs while others focus on a single specialised field.

Language Schools
These are institutions that offer English-language training or other foreign languages, either short-term or long-term, often with their own specialised curriculum. Most of these schools are private, and their courses are typically organised into 5-week, 10-week, 12-week, or 15-week blocks to suit learners’ needs. Some schools specialise specifically in one-on-one tutoring.
Foundation Programme Providers
Many universities and some secondary schools offer foundation programmes, mainly for international students whose high school curriculum is not compatible with New Zealand’s secondary school system. The main purpose of these programmes is to prepare international students for university study. Core subjects usually include English, academic skills, and introductory content related to the field students plan to study at university.
