At Excel we like to help you meet your needs in areas other than English Language study. Below are some of the areas we can provide additional services in.

Working holidays
Working holidays are a very popular way for students to come to New Zealand, do some English language study and then some work. For a list of countries that participate please visit the following link: http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/work/workingholiday/

English&Work

 In New Zealand there are many unskilled jobs for people to earn money. This is very true in Summer. A favourite one early in the year is fruit-picking. There  are also many others. It is fun. You will get a nice tan,  fresh air, have good exercise and meet many other travellers. It will be easy to make enough money to live, travel and save.

Many NZ people are friendly and will help you with work and a place to stay.

You can improve your English, especially your conversation and speed. Excel will give you 12 weeks teaching in General English, then 4 more weeks learning speaking and listening ready for you to work. We call this SpeedTalk ready to work with New Zealand people.

Then we will help you get a job doing easy things which will pay you enough to live, eat, have a place to stay and also travel in the beautiful countryside.

You will make very good friends with many others from other countries who do the same.

Voluntary Work

A programme that Excel English College offers is Volunteer work placement. This is a wonderful way to see first hand how places such as a child care centre or retirement home operates in New Zealand. You may come and study as a full time student and afterwards do the placement or in some cases can study part time and do the placment in the afternoons. This does depend on the type of placement. Other voluntary work could include such things as animal care or environmental work. Let us know what your interests are and we will try to place you in a job that matches.

While in the work place we continue to have contact with both you and your place of work to provide the necessary support.

Parent & Child

If you want to come and study at Excel and have a child or children then there are as few options available to you.

• we can assist you to find a suitable child care centre

• if you need to be home when your child finishes school, you can study as a part-time plus student but finish at 2pm each day instead of 3pm on 2 days.

• it may also be possible for your child to study at Excel. We are able to take students aged 11 years and over but talk to us if you have a child younger than this.
