EMS is approved and funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) and Ministry of Social Development for foundation and employment upskilling training.

EMS has been establishing university degree pathways which save both time and money for students effectively. EMS has proudly become the pioneer university degree pathway provider in Wellington.

EMS offers up to 120 credits transfer articulation agreements to business degrees at Massey University, Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and Institutes of Technology including WelTec and Whitireia. Qualified EMS graduates may enter university second year of study directly and become a business degree qualified within two more years. EMS is also aiming to offer IT, tourism management, accounting and finance diplomas which also lead to the relevant degrees of its academic partner universities.

If enrolling for NZCEL + diplomas, students may receive credits to the value of $8,000 toward their diploma of study at EMS.
