Overseas Teachers
New Zealand is one of the best places in the world to work, live and raise a family. To find out how you can enjoy the world-class lifestyle New Zealand has to offer, download a copy of our free, comprehensive guide to teaching in New Zealand.
As a contracted recruitment agent for the New Zealand Ministry of Education, we have been bringing teachers to New Zealand from overseas for over 15 years. If you are considering making the move, reach out to our friendly, informative team.

Four Agency Process
In order to teach in New Zealand, there are four external agencies that you will need to engage with. By working with ep.education, we can help you navigate these processes and answer any questions you may have.
NZQA now have a list of 'Pre-Approved Overseas Teaching Qualifications'. If your initial teacher education qualification is on this list, and you fulfil the other exempt requirements, you don't have to have your qualifications assessed. You can skip this step, saving you valuable time and money.
At ep.education, we work closely with the Teaching Council, who grant teacher registration and practising certificates (which are required for all classroom teachers in New Zealand).
The Immigration New Zealand website has a wealth of information about the various visas. Click here to read about the best visa option for you.
Only a licensed immigration advisor can give immigration advice. Several of our previous overseas teachers have used Migration Associates to assist them with the move to New Zealand. If you'd like to speak to someone who can assist you with your visa application, then please click here.
