About us
PORSE Education & Training (NZ) Ltd (PET) is an accredited Private Training Establishment with a strong focus on early childhood education and care and nurturing respectful relationships between adults and children.
We have established training and education programmes based on NZQA unit standards. These programmes encourage learners to become more knowledgeable, thoughtful and sensitively attuned to a child’s emotional wellbeing and developing mind in the early years.
The focus of the programmes offered by PET is to provide relevant and purposeful training that enables learners to gain the skills and hands-on practical experience they require to transition from study to work.
PORSE Education & Training (NZ) Ltd is a category 1 provider registered and accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) to deliver the New Zealand Certificate in Early Childhood Education & Care (Level 4) as well as a selection of Level 2 and Level 3 unit standards delivered in secondary schools as a part of the STAR-Gateway programmes.

According to the report:
The change in governance and management has allowed PE&T to be more proactive and innovative in ensuring sustainability for the organisation. Systems are enhanced for efficiency and the continuous quality of both programme delivery and pastoral support to learners.
PE&T’s systematic gathering and analysis of meaningful data means that it has a good grasp of achievement and outcomes, the factors affecting them, and effective and efficient ways to address any concerns.
The support students receive from tutors is a significant contributing factor to their motivation and engagement in learning. With the programme being online, regular communication helps tutors to identify learning needs and address any concerns at the outset. There is also an effective system in place to ensure that compliance accountabilities are managed well.
