Who we are

NZ School of Vocational Education and Training

 

We are located in the heart of Auckland CBD. We saw the current shortage of skilled health care workers in New Zealand and were excited to be in a position to meet this need by offering Nationally recognised training in this area.

What makes us different and enables us to stand out is that we are a boutique school, training a small number of students each year, therefore giving you a more personalised experience.

Our staff care about people. To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honours, and this starts with quality training.

When you come and study with us - you become part of our whānau, where we genuinely care about you, your needs and your future career-you’re not just a number, and you won’t get lost in the crowd.

Our vision

The NZSVET is considered by key stakeholders including students, graduates, employees and employers, as the preferred provider of quality education and training in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our purpose

In a world dominated by an ageing society, the demand for the provision of care that older people expect and deserve is rapidly outstripping current support staff numbers and ability. The New Zealand School of Vocational Education and Trainings purpose is to meet that demand and, by extending Health Care Assistant knowledge and skills, to optimise the standard of care received by aged people in New Zealand.

  • Collaborating with stakeholders – aged care providers, health care agencies, sector organisations, peak bodies, and students

  • Identifying training needs – present and future

  • Programme development – actively developing and sharing innovative, high-quality training programmes

  • Demonstrating best practice across the sector
