Learning a language is a life-long activity.  How long you need to study English all depends on your starting point, your goals and how hard you study.  Students who do extra study after class and make an effort to use their new English skills outside of the classroom will learn faster than those who only use their English during class.

Unique New Zealand is proud to be an NZQA Category 1 provider.  This means that if you study with us and your course is 14 weeks or longer you are automatically granted the right to work part time when you apply for your student visa.

Yes.  It is a requirement under the NZQA’s Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students that all students studying in New Zealand must have adequate health and travel insurance.  You will not be allowed to study at Unique New Zealand if you do not have adequate insurance.  Your student advisor will ask to see your insurance certificate on your first day.  Unique New Zealand can arrange insurance for you at an extra cost.

The best place to get this information is your closest New Zealand Embassy or consulate or you can check the most up-to-date visa information with Immigration New Zealand.

FEE PROTECTION Unique New Zealand believes very strongly in protecting all monies received from students until such time as the students have completed their courses. In order to do this all students must comply with the following conditions:

• All students enrolling at Unique New Zealand will be sent a Public Trust Student Fee Trust Account Application Form which must be signed by the student (or student’s parent/legal guardian if the student is under 18 years) and returned to Unique New Zealand.
• If a signed Public Trust Application Form is not received and a student is Under 18 years old then by signing the enrolment form the student’s parent/legal guardian agrees to appoint Unique as their agent to sign the Public Trust Application Form on their behalf.

On your first day at Unique New Zealand you will have an orientation session with your Student Advisor. They will give you their emergency mobile phone number so if you have an emergency you can phone them for help at any time.

Unique New Zealand is a short bus ride from a large shopping mall and cinema complex.  In Browns Bay there are many cafes and of course, the beach.  Auckland City is approximately a 45 minute bus ride away or 25 minutes by car.  If you want to travel to other parts of New Zealand there  is a full time Recruitment and Admissions Team who can give you lots of activities information and help you to book tours.  After school there are regular sports and social activities.  Check our Activities page
