Don't just take our word for it, hear what our students have to say: "The knowledge I've learnt at NZIS has been great, and I can apply it in my work today. The practical components were also really helpful in giving me hands-on experience." - Student testimonial.

"The tutors were awesome, and there was lots of work experience, practical opportunities, and theory too. All of this gave me value as the trainer I am now." - Student testimonial.

"NZIS is different to your typical tertiary education. Because the class sizes are smaller, you get to know your tutors and peers a lot better than you usually would. Whether you have a problem that was education related or personal, tutors were always there to offer help." - Student testimonial.
