There are many English language courses to choose from, that will match a wide range of requirements.  There are courses for individuals or groups.  Programmes can include activities such as outdoor recreation and can even be split between colleges in different cities.  Others may support a specific career eg a Certificate in English for Medical Professionals.

English Language schools also offer courses for beginners, for people who can say ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ and have a basic knowledge of the alphabet.  For absolute beginners, who have no previous language learning experience, private tuition can be arranged.

Courses should be selected based on the level of English tuition required. Students usually take a test prior to starting their course so that the institution can place them in a class of the appropriate level.

A number of programmes offer the chance to experience the unique features of New Zealand while still enjoying a superior level of education.  From white water rafting and horse riding to mountain biking and rugby, there are hundreds of activities available in New Zealand, all of which can make learning to speak English fun and exciting.
