“Studying and working at the same time might sound difficult, but nothing is too hard when you love what you do. In fact, I’m so passionate about my work that I have now enrolled in a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Early Childhood Education) with NZTC, and am excited to see where it takes me.”

“I can honestly say now that I am truly blessed to have been a student with NZTC.”

“I found the course focused on leadership in healthcare to be extremely beneficial for the type of work that I do."

“I can now proudly say that I have achieved my Level 2 and 3, and am halfway through the New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Advanced Support) (Level 4).”

"I never thought in a million years I’d end up in a management role like this!"

"I was always asking questions, reading interesting studies and articles, and pondering the different aspects of ECE, and I knew this qualification would provide me with the skills needed to be able to do my own research.”

"They’ve shown me different paths. Different things I could do with the qualifications I have, different paths I could go down. They’ve shown me what I’m capable of."

"I think the tutors are awesome, best tutors I’ve had, best teachers I've ever had even."

“I had always been interested in ECE teaching so I decided to give it a go. I really enjoyed it and ended up being offered a job from one of the centres I had relieved for.”
