Martin Taylor, CEO NZ Aged Care Association states:
"Recently the branch chairs of NZACA throughout the country met and agreed to endorse the training programmes delivered by Health Ed Trust. It was agreed that Health Ed Trust's ACE programmes reflect the needs of the industry and meet audit and orientation requirements. NZACA 's members also believed the ACE programmes were cost effective and of high quality.
Health Ed Trust is a not for profit trust, producing proven programmes and more than 15,000 successful students in it's twelve year history. Programmes are NZQA approved and contain National qualifications. Health Ed Trust is the preferred education provider for NZACA.
