Government Training

Fancy yourself as a public servant in a uniform? There are currently eight GTE’s that provide training and educational courses:

· The New Zealand Police

· The Royal New Zealand Navy

· The New Zealand Army

· The Royal New Zealand Air Force

· Child Youth and Family

· The Department of Corrections

· The New Zealand Fire Service

· Career Services

GTEs provide on-the-job training and educational courses for their employees and those directly linked to their establishment (if you want to study with the Navy, you must first join the Navy).

The qualifications offered by these GTE’s are almost always directly related to the work you will be doing for the establishment. This could be useful for someone who is wanting to pursue a career with one of these establishments and who wants to train as they go.
