MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM NZTC
Thanking our educational partners for their ongoing commitment and support.
As we wrap up the year, we would like to thank our educational
partners, students and government agencies for their ongoing
support. 2020 has been a time like no other, as we have all
adapted, innovated and evolved to continue supporting students
in the presence of new global challenges.
New Zealand Tertiary College (NZTC) has seen another successful
year for student recruitment, as we continue to support
international students to study the college’s internationally
recognised early childhood education programs in New Zealand
and across the world. The college’s long-established online
learning platform, NZTC Online, is a gift during this time as it
enables students to collaborate, discuss and reflect on their
studies from the safety of their own homes.
NZTC students have come together in new virtual ways in
2020, as we looked to develop new flexible options to ensure
study could be continued online. Students have shared positive
feedback throughout the year, welcoming the opportunities
this has created for increased flexibility, new connections and
engagement with other students.
New Zealand continues to face high demand for qualified early
childhood teachers, with the profession listed on Immigration
New Zealand’s regional skill shortage list. The country offers
many exciting employment opportunities for those looking to
inspire, lead and educate future generations.

UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND GRADUATE PRAISES NZTC’S STUDY FLEXIBILITY
Nan Li is able to gain a qualification, work full-time and raise a family with the college’s flexible
modes of learning.
After completing a master’s degree with the University of
Auckland, Chinese student Nan Li is now pursuing the Graduate
Diploma in Teaching (Early Childhood Education) with New
Zealand Tertiary College (NZTC) and is full of praise for the
flexibility it offers.
“I was instantly drawn to NZTC’s flexible modes of learning
- which from my experience – is not seen in other tertiary
institutions to the same extent, and I was aware New Zealand’s
early childhood curriculum is held in high esteem around the
world.”
Originally looking to further her career as a program co-director
in the tertiary sector and eventually undergo a PhD, Nan
experienced a change of heart when fellow classmates within
her master’s program spoke to the joys of teaching.
“Their positivity and love for working with young children
inspired me to embark on a new journey and become an early
childhood teacher. It’s extremely rewarding knowing that I am
now playing a part in ensuring our children grow into responsible
and well-rounded adults.”
As a degree graduate, Nan was eligible to enrol in NZTC’s Nan Li
