English for Migrants (EFM)

As an authorised EFM centre, we welcome migrant students all year around. We help improve their language skills so that migrants are better able to settle into their new lives in New Zealand. Our friendly learning environment provides migrant students with an immediate opportunity to mingle with other students. They enjoy learning and sharing information with each other.

The programme also provides a wide range of services and aims to help migrant students to:

Improve English language and literacy proficiency and self-confidence
Obtain New Zealand employment awareness, skills and knowledge
Pursue further training for apprenticeships or employment opportunities
Provide a foot in the door to career development in New Zealand
Gain study skills, opening pathways to appropriate credentials at other institutes
Better integrate learners and their families into New Zealand culture and society

Intensive Literacy and Numeracy (ILN)

Intensive Literacy and Numeracy (ILN) is one of the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC)’s long-term strategic focuses. ILN targets stronger literacy and numeracy learning gains through a well-structured delivery with strong community links.

The outcome of the ILN programme is to improve literacy and numeracy skills against the TEC and NZQA Learning Progressions. Our pre-employment, job placement and work support service are added benefits of the programme. We have met, or exceeded the targets of:

over 90% of learners have completed the programme
100% of individual learning plans were developed and followed
over 50% of learners received part/full time employment assistance
100% of learners received ongoing support

MFH has a proven track record of effective learner recruitment over 8 years. MFH has built and strengthened its connections and partnerships with a broad range of Government agencies, Industries and businesses, employers and communities.
