Welcome to the February 2010 edition of the Independent Tertiary Institutions (ITI) newsletter. Each month, we look to highlight some of the many positive educational stories from our member institutions.
In this bumper issue, 500 students at the New Zealand Tertiary College are utilising the college's cutting-edge e-learning technology (NZTC Online). Following a recent acquisition, New Zealand Career College is proud to open its new Auckland City campus.
Innovative new business diplomas at New Zealand Management Academies (NZMA) are recognised across Australia, America and Great Britain. 23 students on a Korean Government scheme have graduated from the Pacific International Hotel Management School (PIHMS) in New Plymouth. Finally, Bethlehem Tertiary Institute and the New Zealand Tertiary College will be collaborating on a major research project funded by Ako Aotearoa.
Thank you for your on-going support of ITI. Please encourage your colleagues, networks and friends to sign up to receive this monthly newsletter.
