Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki (WITT) is the largest tertiary education institution in Taranaki, New Zealand.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

On 1 April 2020, WITT became a subsidiary of Te Pūkenga (the New Zealand Institute of Skills & Technology) alongside the 15 other Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs).[2] WITT will remain a subsidiary of Te Pūkenga until early January 2023 when it is fully merged into the national entity.[3]

In mid-July 2025, the Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds announced that WITT along with NorthTec, Whitireia New Zealand, the Wellington Institute of Technology (WelTEC) and Tai Poutini Polytechnic (TPP) would temporarily remain with Te Pūkenga until final decisions were made in early 2026.[4][5]

Campuses

[edit | edit source]

The institute has two campuses around Taranaki; the main campus is situated in New Plymouth, and the other is located in Hawera. WITT is accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.[citation needed]

WITT also has a campus in Hamilton which is part of the New Zealand Institute Highway Technology, WITT's wholly owned subsidiary.[citation needed]

Curriculum

[edit | edit source]

WITT offers programmes from Levels 1 to 9, including degrees and diplomas, apprenticeships and short courses.[citation needed]
