Quality Tertiary Institutions (QTI) - Nga Wananga Kounga – is a recognised tertiary peak sector body providing a strong collective voice for twelve high-quality Private Training Establishments (PTEs).

Our members offer a wide range of courses around New Zealand to over 12,000 students from foundation to certificate to degree to post-graduate level. QTI was formally Independent Tertiary Institutions (ITI) - Nga Wananga Motuhake.

QTI members teach a diverse range of subjects from certificate to post-graduate level, all are student-focused and committed to excellent results. To be a member of QTI, providers must meet size and strict quality requirements, and be approved by existing members. Our organisation's primary focus is on improving the educational environment and outcomes for all students.
