Orientation & Training

After a long international flight, our Orientation course will help you adjust to a new time zone and give you the opportunity to meet other Au Pairs before you join your host family.  More importantly, our course provides valuable and potentially life-saving information about caring for children - including first aid training and CPR lessons.

Our Orientation course includes:

• Two nights' hotel accommodation in Auckland including all meals
• Professional first aid course and CPR training
• Theoretical driving lessons conducted by a professional driving instructor (Practical lessons can be booked through local driving instructors - find out more)
• Childcare lessons conducted by our qualified Early Childhood Education teachers
• Assistance with setting up your New Zealand bank account
• A free New Zealand mobile phone SIM card
• An exciting tour of Auckland city (optional and additional cost)
• An introduction to being an au pair in New Zealand - including 'must see' destinations, kiwi phrases… and so much more!

Our Orientation courses occur throughout the year, running sessions weekly throughout our high au pair arrival months (January - February, July - August), and fortnightly during our lower arrival months (March - June, September - December).
