Private Training Providers
Private Training Organisations
New Zealand has a huge number of Private Training Establishments (PTEs) and they are all very different in what they offer and teach. What links them all is that they are required to be registered with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and their curriculum and academic standards must meet national standards. You can search for options of New Zealand private training providers here: https://studyspy.ac.nz/providers/pte
Please note: This list includes many of the available options but is not exhaustive. If you have other organisations you would like to add please email: [email protected]
