Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology, Nelson Campus

I paid $28,000 to study horticulture here as an international student. The course was so disorganized that I asked the school for a refund and to revoke my visa. They provided unreasonable options, saying that I could only receive a partial refund or start a course that they originally told me was off limits for international students. I lost everything because of this school. I left the course and the country and they still refused to refund. This place is dangerous for international students. I lost every single cent and didn't even receive the certification. NMIT is not an honest or organized institution and international students need to protect themselves. This is a warning for other curious international students.nnNow NMIT is saying they would like to resolve the issue. I have not seen any form of communication where they have tried to reach out privately. There is no evidence to support that claim. These people took all of my savings, provided abysmal quality of service, and I had to pay 28x the rate of domestic students for this. Where is my money? We both know that an institution should have systems to ensure that international students aren't treated this way, especially with outside circumstances. This place took all of my savings and I got 0 value. Please go to a real institution if you are in international student. It's not worth losing everything, even though Nelson is one of the best places to live! I had no idea it was possible to get scammed in New Zealand, but I wanted to share my story so that others can take heed.

Poor experience. I studied: Certificate in Superyacht Crewing L3 2017. My age when I took the course was 42. The main Teacher: Peter Carmichael told me at my graduation that I will never work in the industry. Which was tough to hear but as he was a captain that had so much experience in the industry, he had worked with every type of high end boss and this was his advice to me. Great course if you want get your tickets quickly but poor pastoral care and very limited job seeking advice.

Studied there in 2017-2018.NMIT is not so bad. GOOD CAMPUS.nProsn1.Some tutors are really helpful like leouw who really knows his subject.n2.Other office staffs are also really helpfuln3. Good libraryn4.Nice cubicles for study.n5.Flexible class timingn6.Most of the tutors were really understandable and helpful.nnConsn1.Lower chance of getting a job. Almost 95 percentage of my friends who passed from there didn't got any good jobsnn2.Some tutors don't know much about their subject. There was one tutor named Elliot masters, who is really good at his subject but extremely rude to students.nnOverall my experience was good. But as an international student our prior importance is to get a job and if u study there its hard to find a good one.nnSo please study in any good universities not colleges.

These girls at NMIT. Are amazing,nAll in training... They know their stuff , good at what they do.nSo affordable, had my facial, brows +lashes done too ..I left super happynI'm going again in 3wks.yahoo

I am currently studying towards a Diploma in Civil Engineering, I'm loving the hands on approach to the coarse. It's really helpful having smaller class sizes as your tutor is always on hand to help you when needed.nThe smaller class sizes also means you have plenty of opportunities to go to events and get yourself infront of future potential employers. This puts you on a level playing field when competing with university students for job opportunities. At the end of the day It's not about what you know, it's about who you know.
