Studying at EIT | Te Pūkenga in 2024
Following the new Government’s announcement of its intention to disestablish Te Pūkenga | New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, please be assured that your programme of study or training will continue as planned while we work through the details of how this change will be implemented.
We are committed to ensuring that organisational changes that need to be made to meet the Government’s expectations do not impact the delivery of our programmes and training for our learners and employers.
If you need access to learner support services, or have any concerns, please contact your programme administration team.
EIT is part of Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (Te Pūkenga).
From 1 November 2022, all references to EIT or EASTERN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY on this website (and any documentation linked through this website) need to be read as references to Te Pūkenga and its EIT business division.
Te Pūkenga brings the Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and the arranging training activities of certain Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) together to create a national network. This will give learners more choices and flexibility in what, where, and how they learn. Existing EIT ākonga (learners) will be enrolled with Te Pūkenga automatically in the same qualification and will continue to learn in the same way, in the same place, with the same people.
Learners should note that all programmes offered across Te Pūkenga are under review to ensure they are portable, consistent and aligned with the needs of the industry and may be changed. Where there are changes to programmes that you have applied to enrol in, you will be notified of these changes.
If you have any questions or would like more information about this change please get in touch.
