For PTEs and tertiary training providers in New Zealand

An AI LMS built for New Zealand PTEs — NZQA-aligned out of the box

Vacademy gives Private Training Establishments and tertiary providers in New Zealand one platform for enrolments, unit-standard delivery, assessment, certification, and NZQA-aligned reporting — without spreadsheet overhead.

What New Zealand PTEs tell us is broken

SDR cycles eat the team

Pulling enrolment, unit, and outcome data from fragmented systems for the Single Data Return cycle takes weeks.

Moderation across assessors is manual

Internal and external moderation, assessor consistency, and evidence trails live in spreadsheets and shared drives.

Online + face-to-face delivery is split

Different learner experiences for online cohorts, classroom learners, and workplace learners — feeding one outcome system.

Course production is slow

Building structured unit-standard content, knowledge tasks, and assessment instruments by hand is the bottleneck on launching new programs.
