  • Changes to online agent training programme

    Dan Smidt, ENZ’s Manager – Agents says the upgrade is long overdue and will make the programme more tailored to agents.

    “The current online agent training programme has operated largely unaltered since 2013, and there have been considerable changes in technology and learning styles since then that mean the programme is not as effective as it could be,” says Dan. 

    “The programme will be re-designed from the agent perspective and have a range of tools, resources and training material that will assist agents in promoting New Zealand as an international education destination.

    “Industry stakeholders will also have an opportunity to create learning modules when the new programme is launched.”

    The new online agent training programme is intended to re-launch in November 2018.

    In order to facilitate the build of the new programme, the current programme will become unavailable near the end of June.

    We encourage all agents who have started the training to complete it as soon as possible. Click here to log in.

  • Student visa processing update

    In INZ’s future footprint, all student visa processing will be done in Beijing, Mumbai, and Palmerston North offices.  

    “We are confident that consolidating visa processing into a few key sites, and other changes to make technology and processes simpler, will deliver improved operational performance,” said Celia, who is INZ’s Sector Relationship Manager (Education). 

    “They will make visa decision-making more accurate, consistent and timely and deliver an improved customer experience.”  

    "So far this year, INZ offices in Hong Kong, Dubai, Pretoria, and Ho Chi Minh City have transitioned student visa processing to the Beijing and Mumbai INZ offices.  

    INZ’s management of the changes includes a process for the transfer of local market knowledge, which provides the context of different markets and includes training for staff in the receiving site. 

    “We will continue to refine and validate this information based on insights gathered as part of the offices’ on-going operational performance measurement.”
