TEFL Courses New Zealand (Auckland)

The TEFL International 4-week TESOL Teacher Training Course will be delivered at Aspire New Zealand: English Language School studios located in the famous Strand Arcade Building, Level 4, 233 Queen Street, downtown Auckland city. 

Auckland is New Zealand's largest urban area with a population of approximately 1.3 million people. It is not, however, the capital of New Zealand, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland City is the centre of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most vibrant, bustling and multicultural city in New Zealand and Australasia. Auckland is the biggest Polynesian city in the world, and this cultural influence is reflected in the many different aspects of exciting city life.

The city's landscape is dominated by volcanic hills, many of which were once the site of Maori Pas (the indigenous people’s of New Zealand fortifies villages). Auckland's nickname "The City of Sails" is very appropriate as Auckland has more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world.

Auckland lies between the Waitemata and Manukau harbours, and its geography is such that glistening waters seem to beckon from every point. Auckland is a water lover's paradise, with some of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water-sports in the country.
