Can I start straight away?
Yes — many of our online and correspondence courses let you enrol and begin immediately, with materials sent the same day. On-site and scheduled courses start at the next available intake, which we'll confirm fast.
Can you train our whole team at our workplace?
Yes — on-site delivery is one of our most popular options. We bring the tutor and all resources to your workplace anywhere in NZ, issue a single group invoice, and send completion reports automatically.
How do I pay?
After you enquire and we confirm your place, you'll receive a secure online payment link — pay by card in a couple of clicks, no account needed. Group and employer bookings get a single invoice with flexible terms.
What if a learner doesn't pass first time?
Every learner gets a free re-sit. We're invested in your success and our tutor support continues until you achieve your unit standards.
Is ITS ACE funded?
Yes. We deliver ACE-funded programmes, so many of our foundation and community courses are free or subsidised for eligible learners. Ask us which programmes you may qualify for.
