1 Mount Maunganui - that's an unusual name. I’ve never heard of this school before, how can I trust this school?

Have you heard of Johan Vaaler? He invented the paperclip in 1899. Just because you haven't heard of him doesn’t mean he never existed. Though we haven't been around quite as long as the paperclip, we have been here for over 17 years, quietly building our reputation for helping students improve their English. We’re so sure of our quality that our directors personally guarantee it.

2 But this school is not in Auckland…

That's right, there's a lot more to New Zealand than just the big cities. Studying at MMLC means you can enjoy a unique study location.

3 This school is by the beach, does that mean it's just for fun, and not for serious study?

Definitely not! Yes we are in a fun location, but our study programmes are serious. If you want a six-month Academic Preparation course, or if you just want to brush up your English for two weeks, we take your study goals seriously. And after all that hard work, the beach is the perfect place to relax!

4 Lots of schools offer General English and Exam Preparation courses, why should I choose yours?

Being a small school means our teachers take a personal interest in students' results. We are constantly training our highly-qualified teachers to make sure their skills are absolutely up-to-date. Our students consistently achieve high exam grades. We also care about student safety. In fact our students are so important to us that we provide a 24-hour hotline they can call in case they need assistance.

5 I want a guarantee of quality; can your school give me this?

YES. MMLC is a member of ENGLISH NEW ZEALAND - a federation of top-quality English Language Schools New Zealand. The Federation provides a guarantee of quality through regular quality assurance audits certified by SGS International. We are registered with the NZQA, the official New Zealand Government body, and we are signatories to the New Zealand Ministry of Education Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students. We are also associate members of ALTO, and full members of WASELS. We have a robust fees protection scheme in place. In addition, our directors have given a personal guarantee of student fee protection.
