To enroll in The Culinary Collective at NZMA under UP Education, applicants must meet specific criteria. Candidates must be at least 16 years old, though some programs may require a higher age limit. A valid study visa or New Zealand residency is mandatory for international students.
Academic prerequisites include NCEA Level 2 or equivalent qualifications. English language proficiency, demonstrated through IELTS or equivalent tests, is required for non-native speakers. Prior culinary experience, while not mandatory, can strengthen an application. Applicants must also attend an interview or submit a portfolio, depending on the program level.
