People looking for a new way of life often put New Zealand at the top of their wish list – but the immigration process can be difficult and confusing; professional advice is vital.
Anyone giving immigration advice has to be licensed. Unless you are an exempt person you must complete this qualification to apply for a licence and we are the only institute in the country able to offer it.
This very popular online course can be studied from anywhere in the world. It’s an intensive, interactive online course with strict entry criteria, particularly around English competency, and you must already have a degree or previous industry experience.
There is no requirement to come to New Zealand to study this course. Study visas are not issued for this course.
Upon successfully completing the requirements you'll receive the award of:

You can gain a Provisional Licence after successfully completing papers LAWS6015, LAWS7012, LAWS7013 and LAWS7014, but you must successfully complete all eight papers, be awarded the qualification, AND have completed two years under the supervision of a Full Licence holder before you will be granted a full licence.
