A Detailed Academic Support Program on Offer:
ACADEMIC WORKSHOPS
Prior to starting the course curriculum, we offer a two-hour academic workshop in the first two weeks. As a result, students gain a stronger understanding of what is required from an academic point of view.
ONE-ON-ONE TUTOR SUPPORT
There is also one-on-one support available from tutors every week. Tutors have a calendar with available time slots you can book.
LEARNING HUB
In NZIE’s learning management system, there is a learning hub of resources that answers common questions and queries from students. For instance, we have a resource on how to construct your written essays. Moreover, we are continually taking on feedback to improve the student experience by constantly updating the learning hub’s contents.
