About Program
Tai Poutini Polytechnic (TPP) provides quality tertiary education that meets the needs of West Coast students and businesses. Our popular West Coast programmes include tourism and hospitality training across the retail and service sector, outdoor education training, agriculture, extractive/mining, and specialist jade and hard stone carving programmes to name a few.
Established in 1989, the Polytechnic now trains around 6,000 students every year in full or part-time study options. Our aim is to get our students into real jobs in the local community, so we work closely with our industry partners and local employers to make sure we’re delivering the training needed to support the economic development of the West Coast.
Training is provided on the Coast through our campuses in Greymouth and Westport, with plenty of on-site training at various locations across the region to ensure our students are ready for work in the real world.

The country, from its snow-capped peaks to its bubbling hot springs, is filled with stunning landscapes, but even more impressive is the easy-going nature of the locals. Kiwis, as New Zealanders refer to themselves, are truly welcoming, life-loving people.
Situated on two separate islands (the North Island and the South Island), New Zealand is home to some of the most beautiful and diverse natural environments on the planet.
