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.
