INTRODUCING
WORLD CLASS EDUCATION
World Class Education is dedicated to providing international students with an outstanding study experience in New Zealand. We provide a wide range of services to help students achieve their academic, social, and sporting goals. Our commitment to excellence, integrity, and professionalism ensures that our students receive personalised support and guidance throughout their academic journey in New Zealand.
ABOUT US
World Class Education was founded by Wendy Jochem and Robbie Pickford, who have each been immersed in International Education for more than 20 years, both having worked in a number of education institutions around New Zealand and acting on numerous international education focussed boards and committees.
As such, Wendy and Robbie have an intimate knowledge of New Zealand schools and are passionate about international students and their education.
​
During the pandemic, Robbie and Wendy joined forces to support students to study in New Zealand. With so much experience between them, the same ethical way of working, and connections with wonderful people and schools around the world, it was a natural decision.
​
Wendy and Robbie strongly believe in the quality of education in New Zealand and the experience living and studying overseas offers to young people. Their services are focussed on helping students find the educational institution that best fits their needs and supporting them to ensure they meet their academic goals and have an unforgettable experience in New Zealand.

We work with schools and students to navigate application, visa and immigration processes, and assist schools to support international students' academic, social and cultural needs.

We are also available to help schools navigate the challenges of recruiting and supporting international students. We can assist schools to develop an international education strategy addressing recruitment, compliance with the Code of Practice, pastoral care, IT and all other matters to help equip schools to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for international students.
