The New Zealand Institute of Sport (NZIS), part of the ACG Group under UP Education, is a private tertiary institution. It specializes in sports, fitness, and health education, offering vocational and diploma-level programs.
Unlike public universities, which receive government funding, NZIS operates as a private entity, relying on student fees and private investments. It focuses on industry-aligned training rather than degree-granting academic research, which is typical of public universities.
Prospective students should verify accreditation and program suitability, as private institutions may have different recognition standards compared to public universities in New Zealand.
