Education to Migration – An Increasingly Popular Option

An increasingly popular option in these times of international financial crises is the Education to Migration option. Under this option, supported by the New Zealand Government to allow graduates to gain valuable work experience in the field of their major, graduates can obtain work visas for up to 3 years without having to compete on the local labour market.

Education Advice

We also offer comprehensive Education Advice concerning your or your children's education. We can assist with:

• identifying ideal educational opportunities
• finding the most suitable school for you or your child
• advising on the most suitable courses for career and immigration purposes
• assisting with enrolment and orientation - evaluating English language skills and advising on English language tuition needs

We Liked this School so much we Bought it!

At Stay@NZ we always pay particular attention to ensuring students receive the best practical start to their international education. It is in the first stage of a student's life overseas that they are the most vulnerable. Too often students who study overseas sign up for a course that leads nowhere and/or is of little real-world value for them when seeking employment or pursuing immigration options.

Education is important, and nourishing a desire to study, and learn, and grow is equally important. It is only through proper education that we can continue to live in a world where we can set out and achieve our goals, no matter how difficult they may seem. Finally, after looking for some time for a suitable option, we had the opportunity to purchase Linguis International Institute. This school had an excellent reputation, with a strong commitment to educational quality with small to medium class sizes and a commitment to the cultural needs of its students. When we learned its owner was retiring we snapped it up and began offering English language courses. Now we have been accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) to offer the NZ National Diploma in Business Levels 5 and 6, and Diploma in Business, Level 7.

The reason for offering the National Diploma in Business is simple to understand: It is to an excellent qualification, and after 1 year of study, graduates can apply for Permanent Residence with 50 points (out of a minimum of 100 points needed) under the Skilled Migrant Category.

After purchasing the School with its reputation for educational excellence, we moved it to a brand new modern premises with new facilities, new class rooms each with its own individual air conditioning, and new computers and furnishings.

Linguis' phlosophy is - "If our students succeed, we succeed!".
