  • The Aspire2 Work team are dedicated to

    helping you find work – whether that is

    part time work while you study, or full time

    work in your holidays or when you have

    completed your studies.

    All our programmes have a practical focus.

    Everything you learn will give you the skills

    to work in your chosen career. We work

    closely with industry partners to ensure

    that what we are teaching is what they are

    looking for when you graduate. Throughout

    your study, you will gain insights into real

    industries by hearing directly from our

    industry partners.

    Study for real jobs in real industries

    Help with employment

    Our English language programmes and

    our range of diplomas and certificates are

    delivered using up-to-date techniques

    and content, and aligned with industry

    standards. We work with the New Zealand

    Qualifications Authority (NZQA) and industry

    leaders to keep our curriculum fresh and

    relevant.

    Life at Aspire2 International isn’t all hard

    work – learning a new language, new

    concepts or new ideas can be tiring. It’s

    good to balance that work with plenty of

    fun, and that’s why we organise activities

    to encourage you to mingle with other

    students and, if you’re coming from

    overseas, to experience Kiwi life.

    When you are studying a long way from

    home, sometimes you might need someone

    to talk to. Feeling relaxed and enjoying your

    learning experience is a large part of your

    success, so we have counsellors to help

    you sort out any problems – in your first

    language.

    Counselling and support

    Launching or extending your career begins

    with a positive, engaging study experience.

    Whatever path you are taking, that’s just

    what you will get by working with our

    dedicated and talented teachers, and

    enjoying our welcoming campuses.

    Student fee protection

    The New Zealand Government requires all New Zealand

    Qualifications Authority (NZQA) registered Private Training

    Establishments to protect student fees paid to them in

    advance. We are registered for Fee Protect through The

    Public Trust, which has an unsecured capital guarantee

    from the New Zealand Government. For further information

    visit www.feeprotect.co.nz

    Pastoral care

    Aspire2 International promotes the wellbeing of students

    and supports them during their studies. We have agreed

    to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the

    Pastoral Care of International Students. Copies of the Code

    are available on request from Aspire2 International or from

    the NZQA website at www.nzqa.govt.nz. You should make

    sure you have read and understood the Code.

    Warnings

    Formal warnings will be given to students who take part in:

    poor attendance, academic misconduct, and behavioural

    misconduct. All warnings will be recorded, and warnings

    remain valid for the duration of the programme of study.

    In cases of Academic Integrity or Behavioural Misconduct

    where the violations are considered to be particularly

    significant an immediate Final Warning can be issued, or

    the matter can be immediately referred to the Disciplinary

    Committee.

    Student withdrawals and fee refunds

    Our fee refund policy is in accordance with the Education

    Act 1989 and amendments, and applies to international

    and domestic students. Please refer to our website for

    details aspire2international.ac.nz

    Medical and travel insurance

    International students must have appropriate and current

    medical and travel insurance while studying in New

    Zealand. It must include cover for student travel to and

    from New Zealand for the duration of time that the student

    is enrolled. We can arrange students’ insurance through

    OrbitProtect

    (for more information go to www.orbitprotect.co.nz).

    Alternatively, students can arrange their own insurance, and

    they must provide proof of suitable insurance at the time

    of enrolment. Please contact Student Support for more

    information on insurance:

    Accident insurance

    The Accident Compensation Corporation provides

    accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents

    and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still

    be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further

    information can be viewed on the ACC website at

    www.acc.co.nz

    Health services eligibility

    Most international students are not entitled to publicly

    funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive

    medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for

    the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements

    to publicly funded health services are available through the

    Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at

    www.moh.govt.nz
