As New Zealand’s largest city with a population of over 1.4 million residents, Auckland is the preferred study destination for over 20,000 international students. Auckland is the centre of commerce and is a vibrant and bustling city made up of a mixture of cultures and nationalities from all over the world. Known as the ‘City of Sails’, Auckland is surrounded by harbours, bays, beaches and islands. Auckland is situated near the top of the North Island and is the perfect location for exploring surrounding New Zealand destinations like Rotorua, the Bay of Islands and the Coromandel. The SBG Auckland Campus is located in the heart of Auckland City.
The capital city of New Zealand, with over 400,000 residents, Wellington is a unique city and a popular study destination for international students. Located at the bottom of the North Island, Wellington is a compact city with excellent public transport. Wellington is also the home to the New Zealand Parliament and most embassies and high commissions. Wellington is known as the political and creative capital of New Zealand and is renowned for arts, sports and culture. A city full of festivity with numerous museums, restaurants, cafés and theatres to explore. From Wellington’s harbour you can cross the Cook Strait to visit the South Island. The SBG Wellington Campus is located in the Wellington CBD.
Located on the east coast of the South Island, Christchurch is a city of contrasts. It is a place where its residents continue to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle amidst a natural environment worldrenowned for its beauty. A growing cosmopolitan ambience also adds a touch of excitment without over flashiness. There is nowhere else in the world where within two hours of an international airport you can ski at a world class alpine resort, play golf, bungy jump, go rafting, mountain biking, hot-air ballooning, wind surfing, whale watching and visit world class wineries and gardens. The city centre is comfortably compact and our most delightful central feature is the gently winding Avon River.
Katikati Campus The Bay of Plenty on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island is the perfect place to work and holiday with its beautiful harbours, long white surf beaches, friendly people and an easy going lifestyle. With a population of 150,000, the Bay of Plenty is a fast growing and exciting region to work and live in. It has high growth opportunities in fishing, forestry, horticulture and agriculture.

So I decided to join this prestigious institute. I did 661 Diploma in Management (6 months in India & 6 months in New Zealand) from SBG. Though I was in India, but I got full assistance of the tutors from SBG which helped me in finishing my course early and then got my visa in just 15 days. After coming to New Zealand, I got to know about its true beauty. The proficiency of the tutors especially Mr Mike Fermanis and the
“I am Harsimran Singh, student of 661 Diploma in Management at SBG (School of Business and Government). When I made plan for my further studies, I went through each and every aspect of all the colleges’ website in New Zealand. Somehow I saw the details and courses which SBG College was offering. I went through every detail of all the courses of the college and in the end I found the most suitable and outstanding offer, the 661 option course. This option is to study 6 months in India and 6 months in New Zealand. I felt it to be the best because in this the student has to complete half of the study in their own country, by living with their own people. Same as in my case, being at my home country, I got full assistance from the staff of SBG and I finished my study of India without any problem. At SBG, I had the privilege to be taught by tutors, who really cared about my academic progress, and I’ve benefitted from this immensely.
SBG members like Mr. Grant Hodgson and Mrs. Christine Roberts and everyone else helped me achieve well results in my studies. After completing my course I truly realised what was missing in me before. I was more confident and ready to face all the challenges with best of my talents. SBG gave me support and knowledge to adapt to life in a new country. People of New Zealand are so cooperative and helpful and it adds more beauty to the country. After completing my course, I felt that I have got the understanding of market and an organisation and now I am totally ready to enter in business world. And now I work as an IT support with an organisation in Auckland, New Zealand. I thank SBG to make me learn how to work smarter with being a hard worker. SBG provides a happy, caring and supportive environment that allows each student to reach the pinnacle of their capabilities. If you have the will, SBG has the way!” NALINI JISHTU
Moreover, after coming to New Zealand, I did not have to work part time for a long period of time as I finished my studies in just 6 months and started doing Full time work in my own profession. Now I earn double money than I used to earn during the period of studies. After doing Hotel Management from India, I did Management course from SBG, which really refined my skills and talents and all this has helped me getting a job which is really a good start for my career. Studying in SBG I have cultivated good study habits and also further enriched my attitudes towards academic achievement which compel me towards attaining higher goals and taught me to use the best of my talents in everything I do.” HARSIMRAN SINGH

“After finishing my Bachelors in Information Technology from India, I planned to enter in the Corporate World. Though I was graduated in IT, I did not have knowledge about any business and any organisation structure. I realised that just getting theoretical knowledge is not enough to prove best amongst all but one needs to know about what an organisation is within which he/she will work and what are various marketing tactics in order to utilise your talents for maximum productivity for that organisation. Then I heard about SBG (School of Business and Government) and got impressed by the courses offered by the organisation. I thought whatever our profession is, in every case we have to work within an organisation and deal with the market.
