Choosing what course to study and planning to study overseas can be different for every student. Select the programme you are interested in, and find out about our admission and enrolment processes. 

• Minimum Age
  Most of our students are over 18, and some courses require that. However, for General English, we can take students as young as 11, but they are usually in Study Tour groups.
   
• English Language requirements
  For General English, we take Beginners, but it is important that students at least know the alphabet before they arrive.
  
  Other courses have specified entry requirement – see each course for details.
   
• Health and Travel Insurance
  By law, all international students need to have health and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand, no matter on a Student Visa, or a Visitor Visa. You must show us the proof of your insurance on your first day at school. You can arrange your own insurance from your home country, or we can arrange it for you in New Zealand. The following guidelines apply to International Students only.
  
  Insurance Guidelines: All international students coming to NZ are required by law to take out medical & travel insurance for the full period of their study. Insurance should start from when you leave home to travel so you are covered for any emergency, and include any trips to other countries, or home, during this time.
  
  The Ministry of Education suggests that Insurance policies include:
  
  • emergency evacuation/repatriation
  • accompanying relative cover
  • personal effects and personal liability cover
     
  Desirable additional components are
   
  • loss of fees due to emergencies
  • mental illness
  • continuation option if you may want to extend your studies.
     
• Applying for a visa
  Before you arrive in New Zealand to begin your studies at Edenz Colleges, you need to make sure you have a current passport and then apply for the correct visa or permit. International students should make sure they leave themselves plenty of time to allow for their visa application to be processed.
  
  If you are studying for 12 weeks or more, you will need a Student Visa, otherwise a Visitor Visa. Some countries have an agreement with the New Zealand Government for Visa-free entry. For more information please visit the NZ Immigration website at www.immigration.govt.nz
