Courses

The New Zealand Qualifications Authority ensures that our standards of education are set high and remain high. This ensures that our qualifications are recognised and respected both Internationally and here in New Zealand.

Our tutors currently work in their chosen fields and have a minimum of 15 years industry experience. As a result, our tutorial standards are very high and relevant to todays industry standards.

Most of the equipment and utensils that are required are provided by the school (eg, the uniform, knives and books which are included in your course fees). Your tutor will discuss with you what additional equipment or utensils you may need to purchase.
