School PLD & Gateway / Careers & Gateway Programmes
Thank you so much for coming and getting those results for our students; they (and their whānau) are all really appreciative!

– Amy, Specialist & Classroom Teacher, Cashmere High School

Summit Institute works with a large number of High Schools to support careers advisors and leaders. Our courses enable students to gain job-readiness with a range of in-demand credits that are appropriate for NCEA. Each school completes an MOU with Summit Institute, allowing our high-trained and experienced team to train your students in your school.

At times we may take photos during learning activities. We share these with NZQA & the appropriate WDC during our moderation processes (Summit Institute has responsibility for all marking & moderation requirements); photos are never used for other purposes without permission.

After successfully completing a course with us, each student must complete the course evaluation form. Then each school can:

- use Summit Institute’s NZQA provider number to enter credits on each student’s ROL within 10 days,
- inform students of their success, and
- pay the NZQA per-credit fees for each student.

Each MOU between Summit Institute and school is per-course; this means we create a new MOU for each course.

For more information please contact us and we will be very happy to support your students to gain greater success and work readiness.
