The Developers Pathway
Our unique education model means the learning doesn’t stop with the final class. We will support you right through to your first day at your new job, providing guidance and facilitating those big first steps into your new career. Our apprenticeship style model is a first in New Zealand.
We support students with interview preparation by covering the fundamentals, conducting practice interviews, preparing for technical tests and developing teamwork proficiency. The practical coursework woven throughout our programmes will help you build that all-important portfolio, ready to share with prospective employers right out of school.

We work with business partners such as Parasol and Northpower, to name a couple. And this is only the beginning - our team is dedicated to building long term relationships with businesses both locally and nationally to place top graduates into jobs upon successful program completion.
