John Parkin

Currently I'm on my last term of the Digital Marketing Program at NZIE and can estimate all the traversed learning path, as a quite broad, comprehensive and difficult. Mostly it because I'm a perfectionist and always do my best. Nevertheless, as outcomes, I gained a holistic understanding of the industry, completed an intership and now work as a digital marketer.

Tanya Lebedeva

I have been in NZIE since the start of this year. Have gone through the adapting phase to a new country, to experiencing this crazy pandemic and new studying methods and appraisals. NZIE, its tutors and staff members, showed me that caring for one another is as important, or more, as having a good diploma. I was able to overcome some personal difficulties with the help of its great staff, which now I consider my friends.

Filipe Lima

I feel blessed to be able to study from NZIE. I have just completed Digital Marketing Level 7 and started working as a Digital Assistant and Digital Consultant in two different companies, and there are a lot of other opportunities on my way. I feel confident working on my job tasks all because of the practical experience that I have got from NZIE. It could not have been a better journey from anywhere else. I would definitely recommend NZIE, since it has got the best tutors and course structures which will add a real value to your career.
