Who We Are

A Specialist Healthcare Institute

At Hermitage Career Institute (HCI), we do one thing, and we do it well: we prepare international students for meaningful, in-demand careers in New Zealand healthcare.

Rather than spreading across many subjects, we focus entirely on advanced care and support. Our modern Panmure campus, purpose-built simulation rooms and strong links to New Zealand's aged-care sector mean you graduate confident, capable and ready for the workplace.
