We match their skills and experience with potential employers. The employers are fully involved in the selection and recruitment process. They are invited to meet with participants during the training process. The employers select participants for job interviews according to their employment requirements. We assist employers to find and train suitable participants.

Medical and travel insurance International students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand. MFH can recommend the most suitable plan for you.
Accommodation/Flatting or Homestay A homestay is a great way to experience the New Zealand lifestyle and to improve your English. Students live with New Zealanders in their home and have their own furnished room. MFH will carefully choose a homestay that can provide you with a happy, safe and positive environment for studying. Most students choose to live independently after they settle down in Wellington. You can rent an apartment or share a house with friends or fellow students. The average living cost (including accommodation) is $200 ~ 300 per week. MFH provides current information sources to help you select accommodation. Visit our website for information on homestay options.
Student attendance requirements To meet pastoral care and Immigration Visa requirements, all students should attend 100% of their classes at MFH and to take responsibilities for their own academic progress. MFH school attendance, classroom policies and disciplinary procedures apply, including the use of our fingerprint attendance system.
Cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) MFH has the most advanced cloud-based Learning Management System in place. This is used for student management, learning management, record keeping, online learning support, learning resources and day-to-day communication channels.
Prior learning MFH recognises prior learning and relevant experience. If you have previous work or NZQA-accredited academic experience for study done at another tertiary institution, talk to us about the possibility of crediting it towards your studies at MFH. This can save you time if you are qualified with relevant skills.

Textbook recycle plan It is important for our students to have access to course textbooks and relevant reference books. All Diploma students must use each course’s prescribed textbook while studying at MFH. MFH uses a textbook recycle plan, which means that students no longer need to buy each textbook. At the end of each course the textbook is returned for the use of the next group. Our textbook recycle plan makes it easier for you to achieve your academic goals.
