How I can help
Choosing a course and provider
Compare courses in New Zealand and Australia, check that a provider is approved, and know what to ask before you pay.
Understanding the paperwork
Walk through what the official visa and funds pages ask for, so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Arriving prepared
Plan your first weeks: where you will stay, what to carry, who to call, and how to meet your first people.
JOSH cannot promise a visa, a place or any outcome. Rules and fees are set by governments and providers, so always confirm details on the official pages.
Why vocational courses
Vocational courses train you for a particular kind of work, and many include practical learning. That can make it easier to gain experience in your field while you study and after you finish.
No course can guarantee a job. Ask each provider for evidence, not promises. The Study options page lists three questions to ask.
Guides and books for international students
Before You Fly
A free pre-departure guide with New Zealand as the worked example, and a one-page checklist to print.
Work That Counts
Why part-time work that relates to your course can matter after graduation. A short book.
Flying Against the Winds
A practical field guide to adjusting faster and building a life abroad, based on doctoral research.
