Course Dates

With the changes to the New Zealand Government guidelines with regards to Covid-19, the NZMGA no longer requires a Vaccine Pass for participants on courses/assessments. Participants are required to follow our pre and during course/assessment Covid-19 procedures. We will adopt guidelines as and when required by the government.

If you are interested in a course, get your application in! Even if a course is full, there is no reason not to lodge an application: there may be a last minute opening; a second course may run; you will be first in line for the next available course.

Dates are subject to confirmation and change.
