NZLC wins fifth Study Travel Star Award
For the fifth year running, New Zealand Language Centres (NZLC) Ltd has won the Study Travel (ST) Star Award for Star English Language School, Southern Hemisphere.
The ST Star Awards recognise excellence in the international education industry. The ceremony was held in London earlier this month in front of some 1200 industry representatives from around the world.
The fifth win marked the induction of NZLC into the ST Super Star Hall of Fame, an unprecedented achievement by a New Zealand based international education provider.
Miles Stewart, NZLC Co-Director said the win shows that NZLC has the ability to compete and succeed on a global scale and sets benchmark standards for others to follow.
“Being recognised by our peers as a Super Star organisation demonstrates that NZLC represents a new way of providing industry-leading education and opportunities for our students and our partner businesses. This is something we continue to be extremely proud of.”
NZLC beat out the four other nominees in its category: Greenwich English College Australia, Impact English College Australia, Langports English Language College Australia and Languages International New Zealand.
NZLC is one of the largest English language schools in New Zealand, an NZQA Category 1 school and a member of English New Zealand.

NZ’s education brand remains stable despite border closures
A recent presentation by Jason Cate of Kantar, who carried out the 2022 annual brand survey for ENZ, considers two broad questions:
- How is the demand for international education changing post-Covid 19?
- How is New Zealand’s brand as an education destination being impacted?
“This programme tracks perceptions of New Zealand as an education destination globally, but also specific association statements and overall sentiment, appeal and attractiveness,” Jason Cate says.
“It’s always interesting to see how this develops and changes over time, particularly over the last couple of years, given all the challenges.”
More than 4,800 potential students were surveyed online across 11 priority countries, as well as their parents in some markets. The 16-24 year olds surveyed were mostly current students, and all of them were considering further study in an offshore, English-speaking country.
Jason Cate says the survey shows the overall nature of demand for offshore education is stable in 2022, and only slightly lower than before Covid-19.
The core reasons why students are considering studying offshore haven’t changed:
- to live and travel overseas
- to meet new people
- to enhance their employability.
The survey shows there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of students delaying their studies because of Covid-19 (from close to half of students to around one third), but the proportions of students considering both study offshore and at home, or study offshore and online, have increased. In other words, there is a shift in their preferences for the mode of delivery.
Across most of our key partner countries, perceptions of New Zealand are relatively constant, with the only change being a small decline in awareness. New Zealand again tussles with Singapore for the fifth strongest brand in student mobility among English-speaking countries.
