A Specialist Healthcare Training Institute
HCI trains the next generation of care professionals, people who combine genuine empathy with real clinical capability. We focus on one thing and do it well: preparing our students for meaningful, in-demand careers in New Zealand's care sector.
A campus that feels like the real thing
Our campus replicates a modern healthcare facility. From your very first day, you're learning in the environment you'll actually work in realistic simulation spaces with hospital-style beds and care equipment, where you practise real techniques safely before you ever go on placement.
Between classes, relax in our student dining and common areas, good spaces to eat, study and get to know your classmates.
Getting here: we're right in the Panmure town centre, easy by car, bus, train or bicycle.
Strong ties to New Zealand's care sector
Great training doesn't happen in a classroom alone. HCI maintains strong relationships across New Zealand's care sector, giving our students supervised practical placements in real care environments, including within the Kauri Care network.
That network is growing: Kauri Care Group is investing in new facility developments, and every new facility needs qualified, work-ready care professionals. Training at HCI means training for a sector that is expanding around you.
Graduates may be considered for employment opportunities within the Kauri Care network, subject to vacancies, employer requirements and right-to-work eligibility.
