Special programmes

We offer an "English for Employees" class in some towns. This helps people with skills for communicating at work. It is open to permanent residents who are working  - either full-time, part-time  seasonally or in their own business.

The English for Migrants (EFM) programme is an intensive tutoring course from a trained teacher for those who have paid funds to the New Zealand Immigration Service.

These are times to

• Eat and drink together

• Practise English in a friendly place
