Otago Polytechnic

Awesome environment and friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff =) excellent place to broaden horizons and level up your qualifications.. and not just because I work here ;-b

Despite being run like a government department, the facilities are modern and spacious, and the staff are personable and as helpful as they can be. Ask lots of questions and keep going till whatever you are trying to do (like enrolment) is complete. It's a system. The people are helpful, but the system is opaque and needs a lot of help to navigate. And finally, the OP students are approachable and more friendly than University.

The lecturers will do everything they can to help you succeed. They are very supportive and deliver on their promise to provide students with training to increase employment opportunities.

A very nice place to study, rent free bike to use a day is a nice service provide for the student through out the year

Absolutely brilliant service tonight. Our National bird show members are a very busy group. Your team really stepped up and work so well together. I really appreciate it a highly recommend using your facility again. The kai was fantastic! Thankyou

Spent three years in this place. Studying or designing my way into a degree. Lectures are mostly friendly and will do a lot to ensure you succeed but will also give you ownership of your own learning. I liked the practicality of the courses, it made it relevant to the real world.If you're a tourist and you're looking for something to see. The Otago Polytechnic isn't necessarily that. You would be better going to the University of Otago. This is a great place to get some food or use it as a quick restroom break!

My friends would give this place 0 stars if they could. They had a very Very unprintable experience here. My friend aspired to be a football coach and the way the then disability services head treated her was deplorable. The disability services head was an extremely patronizing person. What she did to my two good friends won't be forgotten it has had such an effect on their lives. I wish my friend who aspired to be a football coach had been alive to see her leave we would have loved to see the relief on her face. Just wish someone had warned the person who was responsible for linking them together what she was really like then things would have been so much different.

A good place to be fantastic people

The enrollment process was smooth, and everyone was helpful and supportive with everything.Unfortunately, my family is currently facing hard economic times, and I had to help them. For these personal reasons, I had to withdraw my application, after trying to obtain options for scholarships that were never answered.Surprisingly or not, the response I received lacked the humanity I did not expect. I am not saying that I wanted my studies for free, but the answer I received from the academic registry lacked empathy, which will make me reflect on whether I want to return to them when my situation improves.

I did Business Administration, and computing Level 2, in 2011.The course was free.This is not my genuine field of interest, however, i did well with the help of encouraging tutors. They were very nice.I passed everything, and i did get National NZQA certificate.Thank you.:).
