English in New Zealand

It’s time to celebrate! We are in full celebration here at the NZMA group as we approach the completion of an exciting 6 month journey!

You will be delighted to know that our new Customer Relationship Management system is now fully operational, and we have seen a dramatic reduction in the time it takes to process applications. 

Our new websites are live, and our students are enjoying their online social network community. Posts are being made on our forums regularly so
encourage your potential students to visit and ask questions to get more information. It is a fun interactive way for new students to meet current students!
 
Check out with AA Education Network to find all the latest information about living in New Zealand, our courses, locations and costs.  
 
If you have visited our Auckland Central Academy in the last week you may have also noticed our newly renovated Student Services Centre. To the delight of our students we have also just added a new student photo montage
across a wall!

The Redfish Employment area has received new computer equipment which makes it easier for students to receive even more guidance in their job search and CV preparation. Our student lounge continues to be popular with everyone, and is a great escape to play a game of pool or for relaxing while watching the TV on the new plasma flat screen.
 
Celebrate with us – extra special promotion!
To celebrate the official launch of the new brands at the New Zealand Management Academies Group (NZMA) we have decided to introduce our Fern School of English 2010 prices and promotions from 1st July 2009!
 
Celebrate with us – it’s an exciting time for everyone!
