Tour Groups
NorthTec is the largest tertiary institution in the Northland region. We have been welcoming international students on group tours for more than 10 years. English and Activities programmes can be designed to meet the needs of your group.
Typically our programmes include 15 hours of English and 10 – 15 hours of related afternoon activities per week.
The English programme focuses on teaching the students the vocabulary and language they will need to use for afternoon activities as well as giving them the language to talk about the activities. It will also teach students English structures they need to communicate with their homestay families and people in the local community (eg; shop keepers, activity guides, kiwi students & teachers).
Afternoon activities can include rural adventures, sightseeing visits, cultural exchanges, history related educational activities, water & beach based activities, day trips to the Bay of Islands or Auckland and sports activities.
