Strategi Institute has once again achieved NZQA’s highest Category 1 rating, reinforcing our reputation as the only fully integrated compliance and education provider in the financial services sector to earn this distinction. This top rating reflects our commitment to delivering quality education and support to our students. 

In its latest review, NZQA awarded Strategi Institute a “Highly Confident” rating in both educational performance and capability, describing our training, teaching, content, and student support as “excellent.” Strategi Institute has proudly maintained this Category 1 rating for the past 12 years. 

David Greenslade, Executive Director of Strategi Group, highlighted that this endorsement comes at a time when high-quality training is more important than ever. “The industry and regulators recognise the value of quality education, and this is why we’re seeing strong student interest. With our increased government funding for 2025, we’ll be able to offer eligible students more affordable course options, international enrolment, and ‘Fees Free’ courses.” 

Strategi Institute’s head, Dot Bach, emphasises their commitment to supporting students at every stage of their learning journey, whether they’re recent graduates or returning to study after a break. The Institute’s flexible study options – including online, distance, in-person, and Zoom classes – are tailored to meet the needs of a diverse student body. 

“We’re uniquely positioned within the Strategi Group to quickly incorporate the latest industry developments into our courses,” adds Bach. “Our students benefit from training that’s not just high quality but also relevant and responsive to industry changes.” 

For students, alumni, and clients of Strategi, this recognition is a mark of confidence in the education they’ve received or are about to undertake, as they prepare for careers or continued success in financial services.
