New Zealand Institute of Studies

The New Zealand Institute of Studies (NZIoS) is a private training provider in Auckland, New Zealand. It was registered with the New Zealand Ministry of Education in 2006 and is recognised by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). Its campus is at Level 12, 155 Queen Street, in Auckland's central business district, close to train and bus stations, and the institute also has a campus in Christchurch. Students come from more than 40 regions, including Asia, Europe and South America.

NZIoS teaches English and foundation courses that lead to further study or employment:

• English Language Development (ELD)
• New Zealand Certificate in English Language (NZCEL), Levels 3, 4 and 5
• Certificate in Foundation Studies (Business), Level 4

The NZCEL is an NZQA-approved pathway to most vocational and undergraduate programmes, and Levels 3 to 5 can also be taken online from abroad. The courses are designed to help students gain entry to a Bachelor or Master of Business degree. The campus has computer labs, a tutorial area and a library. NZIoS arranges approved accommodation, including homestays with checked local families, and its website explains how to apply for a New Zealand student visa. Tuition fees are protected through a scheme run by RSM Prince Chartered Accountants.
