For more than 30 years, Regent Training Centre has been successful in helping to create options for students and trainees through education, support and mentoring. Our strengths lie in our commitment and dedication to improving the lives of all those that we work with. The first Regent Training Centre campus was based just outside of Whangarei, in Ngararatunua. What began with a small rural school housing just 2 classrooms, has steadily grown into 6 campuses across Northland and Auckland. While each campus may look different, they are all bound by an aim to see people achieve more than what they could hope for themselves. For many of our students, through no fault of their own, traditional learning environments have not worked.
