Whitireia and WelTec are known for their high student success rates and culturally diverse student body. Every year we train over 8,000 students who study at one of our campuses across the Wellington region.
We offer a range of programmes of study at certificate, diploma, degree, postgraduate and Master’s levels.
Our programmes have been developed in conjunction with industry to offer excellent vocational qualifications that are future-focused and provide ākonga with practical skills so you can pursue your career goals.
Whitireia is named after the Whitireia maunga (mountain) of Titahi Bay – the mountain that Ngāti Toa Rangatira identifies with, the highest mountain in their rohe.
WelTec is one of Aotearoa New Zealand's oldest tertiary education institutions and the second-oldest in Wellington since 1904.
We were one of the first Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) to navigate this new evaluation process in 2021.
It is heartening to see the dedication and innovation of our kaimahi shine through in the report, especially as the evaluation took place as we were responding to the challenges of Covid-19.
The report enables understanding as to why the Targeted Evaluation is important, and how it is at the heart of what we do in ensuring quality vocational education for ākonga in Wellington and the wider region.
We are known for our distinctiveness (Ahureitanga) and we have special relationships with local Iwi: WelTec with Te Āti Awa and Whitireia with Ngāti Toa. Together, we are more than the sum of our parts.
Mā tātou, mō tātou Ko WelTec ki Te Āti Awa, ko Whitireia ki Ngāti Toa. E haere kōtui nei me kura-takahi-puni tātou.
Together, we will lead and illuminate our communities through tertiary education.
Whitireia and WelTec are a business division of Te Pūkenga, the New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, and we share Te Pūkenga vision and values.

The Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy Course gives you all the writing techniques required to write credible, compelling speculative fiction. Practise your skills in 12 writing assignments, with feedback on each from award-winning author, Sonny Whitelaw.
Our foundation workshop is a transformative experience for anyone who writes at work. In 1 day, you’ll learn a set of practical, plain-language techniques to craft compelling, reader-friendly, and persuasive documents — from short emails to strategic reports, and everything in between.
Two groups of ten students form close supportive units, each working with a tutor. Writers work with prose and poetry. They critique each other’s work. They are exposed to other writers and the writing world, listen to guest speakers and are introduced to a range of good writing by their tutor.
