NZPTC welcomes students from the Asia-Pacific region and will assist with their move to Fiji to take up studies at the Centre.

Fiji can offer overseas students the same diploma they would gain if attending Box Hill Institute of TAFE but they will find it cheaper to live and study in Fiji, where the people are culturally more compatible and the climate is warmer.

Overseas students will find Fiji has an excellent infrastructure. Overseas students will find well-equipped hospitals in the major centres, several private doctors and dentists, excellent banking, postal and telecommunication systems and frequent public transport within towns and between towns. There is a good range of shops and restaurants in all centres, particularly Suva, Nadi and Lautoka. Major banks include the Westpac Banking Corporation, ANZ Bank, Bank of Hawaii and Bank of Baroda.

Because Fiji is the cross-roads of the Pacific, there are communities from most Pacific Islands in the main centres. Since the days of indentured labour, there has been a large Indian community which retains much of its cultural identity and links with India. As with many countries, there is also a substantial Chinese community.

While in Fiji, students have several accommodation options, which NZPTC will help organise:

* Homestay: living with a local family and receiving full food and board for a pre-agreed monthly payment.
* Room Rent: Renting one room of a house and catering for yourself or entering an arrangement for provision of food by the home owner.
* House/Flat Rent: staying on your own or with other people and sharing the rent. Rooms could be single or shared and food purchase and preparation could be either separate or shared.
* Hostel: NZPTC is in the process of constructing a campus which will offer hostel accommodation to students where each student will have his or her room, share bathing facilities and eat communally in a dining hall.
