We’ve combined Queens Academy and Ntec to offer a full range of quality programmes to help you find the right employment or set you up for further study.

We are a “whanaungatanga” – an extended family that gives each member a sense of belonging – and you will become a valuable member of that family. It takes all sorts to make a family, and that’s why we foster multicultural understanding and celebrate diversity.

You will work with a great team of teachers who love what they do, and who strive to make your study experience rich, enjoyable and successful.

As an international student, Aspire2 International has everything you need – language and study support, plus employment support during and after your study is completed.

We can’t wait to meet you on your first day!

Welcome to Aspire2 International.

Clare Bradley CEO

Choose Aspire2 International – here’s why:

Teachers who make a differenceLaunching or extending a valuable 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.

Campuses in exciting locationsOur campuses are in some of New Zealand’s most vibrant cities, just a step from shopping malls, restaurants and theatres. In Auckland, for instance, you can stroll down to the waterfront. If you’re an international student, being in the middle of a bustling city will also give you many opportunities to practise your English.

Not only that, you will have everything you need to learn and succeed. We work with employers in each location so you have every chance to launch or extend your career as part of your studies.

Study for real jobs in real industriesAll 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 through hearing talks by our industry partners.

Our English language programmes and our range of diplomas and certificates are based on up-to-date techniques and knowledge, and in line 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.

Counselling and supportWhether you are studying a long way from home or in your home city, 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.

An up-to-date range of study

Time for work and play

Help into employmentThe 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.

Learn English in Beautiful New Zealand

Good reasons to study English at Aspire2 International

New Zealand is the best environment for studying English. There are so many things to see and do - sailing, climbing mountains, relaxing on beaches, soaking in hot pools - and anywhere you go, you can improve your English and have fun at the same time.

Quality programmes, NZQA approvedWe offer practical modern language programmes that will help you achieve your goal, whether that’s work, travel or further study. The New Zealand Qualifications Authority approves all our programmes, ranking them Category One in quality, and you will learn from dedicated professional teachers.

Small classes, personal attentionOur classes have a maximum of 16-18 students, from all over the world. That way your tutor can spend time helping you when you need it, and you can make some great new friends. All our teachers speak English as their first language, and they are trained in the latest language teaching practice, so you know you are getting the best.

Practice your English and have funDepending on the programme you choose, you will go on regular outings organised by our activities co-ordinator - beach parties, harbour trips, bush walks, shopping - so you can use your English as you learn, and have some fun at the same time. Regular progress reports will tell you how you are going and what needs more work.

Support to settle inIf you want help adjusting to life in New Zealand, our student support team can answer your questions. You might need accommodation or a part-time job, or you may just want to know what there is to do in the city and beyond. Our friendly team can help you with all of that.



An English programme to suit you

Programmes offeredGeneral EnglishCommunicate and SocialiseOur General English programme is great for helping you make your way with confidence in an English speaking country. Our experienced teachers aim to make it fun to learn real-life, everyday English. You will focus on reading, writing, listening and speaking during 20-23 hours of instruction every week depending on the programme you choose.

Academic English

For Further StudyIf you hope to study for a diploma and work in your chosen industry, our Academic English programme will cater to your academic needs. Many diploma programmes require you to achieve this level of International English for enrolment, and at Aspire2 International you will be well prepared for the IELTS exam.

We recommend you enrol in the General English programme first, to refresh your English skills, and then spend six to eight weeks in the IELTS programme before you sit the exam. The programme includes a simulated exam environment and formal testing every five weeks, so you will be confident that you’re ready for the real thing.

Teaching English as a Second LanguageMaybe you want to teach English as a second language. Our certificate programme can improve your language awareness, develop your language-teaching skills and give you the tools for teaching the building blocks of English - speaking, reading, listening, grammar and vocabulary.

This programme will give you access to the latest resources, Cambridge-developed online learning material, regular assessment of your progress and a dedicated computer lab.

Quote from Aleksandr“I initially just came to Ntec for a short English language programme but I liked the environment so much I decided to stay on for further studies. Studying here is quite different from studying in Russia! I really enjoyed my Diploma studies, especially the marketing segment and the final projects. I learned a lot of business skills and also deepened my understanding of living in New Zealand, how to get a job here, and how to talk to people. My tutors were very supportive, and so too were the careers team. They helped me tailor my CV to the New Zealand job market, which in turn helped me find a great job.”

“When I first came to New Zealand I was just doing casual work through Events, but then I found a part-time job at Nando’s. I started out as a dishwasher but after three months I was promoted to Shift Supervisor. After graduating from Ntec I went full-time at Nando’s and was soon promoted to my current role of Assistant Manager.”

Quote from Ruchita“I was at Ntec both as a student, and later as a tutor for Level 5 & 7, and there were so many highlights! In the final term of my programme I won the top project award for the web application that I’d developed, which was a real thrill. I also had a lot of fun and thrived in the encouraging and supportive Ntec environment. Whenever I needed support Ntec was there for me.”

“The career support I received from Aspire2 Work was fabulous. They helped me modify my CV, organised visits to IT companies, prepped me for interviews, and taught me how to respond properly to emails. They helped me build confidence with my job seeking, and put my name forward for several employment opportunities. In fact they referred me for my current role as a Web Developer for Global Tax! From here I want to learn as much as I can in order to build my skills and become a successful web developer, and an integral part of an IT company here in New Zealand.”

Hear What Our Students Say


What Our Employers Have to Say?

Since March 2016 we have been inducting hospitality students from Aspire2

International. The students have attended an induction with us, successfully attending our Ice Events Workplace Training.

For the students whom have been successful in the training we have offered a contract with Ice Events for Casual Temp roles with our clients.

We have a wide range of clients that we look after who request staff from us to help them cater their VIP events.

The students we have from Aspire2 International have been absolutely wonderful. We have found them to have good communication skills, good attendance and punctual with fantastic personal presentation.

The students are very driven to learn more in the industry and they enjoy their employment opportunities as they get to work events in at least 3 different premises.

Ice Events appreciates the relationship we have with Aspire2 International and we look forward to more students joining us in the future.

Fonefix Limited has been involved with the Aspire2 Work programme for the past 2 years. We’ve

found the programme to suit our needs very well, enabling us to bring suitably qualified internship candidates into our business for a 3 month period, which benefits both Fonefix and the intern. Some interns have successfully moved into full employment with us, others have moved onto other opportunities, having gained valuable practical experience in the technology industry.

The program is well managed with formal agreements and reporting in place, providing plenty of opportunity for 2-way feedback related to a specific candidate’s progress, and occasional meetings to enable programme feedback and improvement.

Key Information for International Students

Health Services EligibilityMost 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

Accident InsuranceThe 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

Medical and Travel InsuranceInternational students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand. 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 the Student Administrator for more information on insurance.

If you have any questions about OrbitProtect insurance, or if you wish to make a claim once the policy is in force, OrbitProtect can be contacted on:

0800 478 833 or 0800 4 STUDENT if you’re in New Zealand or +64 3 434 8151 (Reverse Charge) if you’re outside New Zealand.

Student VisasInternational students are required to have a valid student visa during their stay in New Zealand. Once you have received an Offer of Place from us and you have paid your tuition fees, you should apply for a student visa from your nearest Immigration New Zealand office (contact the New Zealand Embassy or High Commission for details).

Pastoral CareWe 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 Ntec or from the NZQA website at www.nzqa.govt.nz

Recognition of Prior LearningIf you already have other tertiary qualifications or previous work experience, you may be granted credit exemptions and may complete your qualification in a shorter time.

We will be happy to discuss this with you before or after enrolment.


Student Fee Protection

The New Zealand Government requires that all New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) registered Private Training Establishments must protect all 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)

This means that in the unlikely event that we are unable to complete the programme in which you are enrolled (this could be because of closure, insolvency, loss of NZQA accreditation or programme withdrawal), the remainder of your student fees (including accommodation and living expenses if paid in advance) will be protected. You will have the choice of receiving any remaining fees back or having them paid directly to an alternative education provider.

Student Fee Protection, Withdrawals and Refunds

1. If a student withdraws (i.e. stops attending class) from any of our programmes, they must notify the CEO in writing. The date of withdrawal is the date that we receive written notification of the withdrawal. The programme start date is defined as the published start date of the programme. See our website for details.

2. a) Programmes thirteen weeks or more duration:

i. Withdrawal within the first ten working days of the programme: If the student withdraws from the programme within the first ten working days, they will receive a full refund of any payments, less a deduction of up to 25% for costs already incurred.

ii. Withdrawal after the first ten working days of the programme: No refunds are provided after the first ten working days of the programme.

b) Programmes of 5 to 12 weeks duration: iii. Withdrawal within the first 5 days of the programme: If the student withdraws from the programme within the first five days they will receive a 75% refund of all fees paid by them.

c) Programmes of less than 5 weeks duration:

iv. Withdrawal within the first 2 days of the programme: If the student withdraws from the programme within the first two days they will receive a 50% refund of all fees paid by them. If two days constitutes the full amount of tuition paid for by the student no refund is payable.

d) All programmes:

Students who withdraw before the programme commences will also be subject to the above criteria. That is, they will be entitled to a refund less any amounts allowed to be retained as noted as above.

3. Students who have already received their laptop (which is included in their resource fee), will not receive a full refund of their resource fee if they subsequently withdraw from their programme, and will be able to keep the laptop.

4. If a student is not granted a student visa or an extension of their student visa a full refund of their unused fees will be made.

5. Refunds will be processed within 5 working days of the withdrawal process being formally approved, will be paid in New Zealand dollars, and will go to the person or organisation that paid the fees, not necessarily the student.

6. An international student who obtains permanent residency, while studying on a student visa, will not receive a refund of fees for the remainder of the academic year in which residency is granted. However, they will be treated as a New Zealand permanent resident for the following years and will be subject to domestic fees for the remainder of their study.

7. If the student is expelled from the programme, it is unlikely that any refund will be made.

8. These regulations may be varied in exceptional circumstances that are beyond the control of the student (such as medical or compassionate circumstances). Variation is at the discretion of the CEO.

9. Immigration New Zealand will be informed of all information which affects the status of a student permit or visa.

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.
