If you are enrolled in a Level 5 Diploma or higher you will normally
be permitted to work while you study. This will generally allow you

study in New Zealand’s capital city, and get the opportunity
to learn English in real-world situations, visiting interesting
locations such as the New Zealand Parliament, our National

city campus in central Wellington – including cafeterias, computer
