“As an international professional, migrant to a new country, and top of all new to the construction sector, this was not just an online course but it’s a complete package for synchronizing my international exposure to the local New Zealand market. I would like to rank this course 10/10.

Let me share my experience:
1. The course management team: Was humble, caring, and compromising. They helped me sign up to this course when I was unemployed and struggling financially. I had a very limited amount of budget to study and they managed to find a subsidy that I could use.

2. My tutor for the Course: This aspect of the course is unique in itself. I have never had an experience like it, where I was personally given a tutor to help me through the program. The tutor was a professional in his field, very experienced but also humble and down to earth, he was eager to transfer all his long years of practical experience. He was available and willing right throughout the course, even after I graduated, he was available to help me out with preparation for the job interviews.

3. Course Material: No bookish talk. All sharing of practical on-the-job experience. The course is beautifully revamped all from the current syllabus, standards, and requirements.

After graduation, I received a job offer in the field thanks to NZES and Michael”

I Fully enjoyed completing this course! My tutor was resourceful, respectful, supportive, and responded quickly. I have learnt so much. Totally recommend this course!

“This Quantity Surveying course was the perfect thing for me to do as it was very flexible and I could work on it at my own pace and time over as many months as I wanted. The tutor was very helpful and I gained a thorough understanding of Quantity Surveying. I definitely recommend this course for anyone interested in pursuing Quantity Surveying in the future.”

As an engineer who recently completed the NZES course, I found one of the most worthwhile aspects of undertaking the course was the connections I made and the industry peers I met. This has given me a broader networking scope and valuable new contacts within the industry and my locality. The NZES qualification and the high standards of the modules offered means I can offer my clients additional services through the new knowledge and skills I’ve acquired, which also makes me a real asset to my employer. The self-paced study meant I could put in as many or as few hours as I could in any given week, and the online setup was straightforward to follow. The one-on-one mentoring gives the whole experience a personal touch and I found my tutor to be both knowledgeable and helpful. From start to finish, my study with NZES was seamless and stress-free – highly recommended!

I started my initial enquiries with NZES after hearing about the surveying and estimating course through a family member. I wasn’t sure if the course would suit my needs, plus I had no prior estimating or surveying experience. From the outset, the enrolment coordinators at NZES were really helpful in answering all my questions. The fact that the course could be completed online from anywhere and is self-paced was a real bonus for me. I also had a knowledgeable tutor with real-life experience in the industry who answered all of my questions and provided relevant, valuable guidance and feedback. Throughout the course I was able to connect with others in the industry and was introduced to several organisations, one of whom is now my employer! My new employer saw the value in the NZES course and how the knowledge and skills I’d learned could benefit their business and customers. Graduation from the course also meant I could increase my earning potential from my previous role.

As a self-employed Quantity Surveyor, the NZES qualification I gained recently was instrumental in keeping me up-to-date with my skills and give me a competitive edge over my peers. Because the course is based online, I was able to work at my own pace out of work hours, when and where it suited me. And as I run my own business, I was able to ask my tutor questions that related directly to my business, which he happily answered. The modules I completed were relevant to my line of work, and after completing the course I’m able to offer potential and existing clients improved services, while also focusing on and improving my business and what I can offer. Since completing the course and gaining new skills, I’ve been able to gain new clients, and have also been able to increase my hourly rate for these new clients.
