AI Software for NZ Language Schools and PTE Centres
Custom-built software for NZ language schools and PTEs. Respond to international student enquiries in any language, 24/7. Automate enrolments and agent communication. AI-powered, from $399.
Why Language Schools Businesses Need Smarter Software
NZ language schools compete globally for international students who enquire from different time zones, in different languages, through different channels. When a student in Beijing enquires at 11pm NZ time, the school that responds first in Mandarin wins the enrolment. Custom AI-powered software gives your school a 24/7, multilingual front desk that qualifies leads, answers course questions, and books consultations while your competitors sleep.
Timezone Delays Lose Students
A student in Seoul enquires at 2pm their time (midnight in NZ). By the time you respond at 9am, they've already received three replies from Australian and UK schools.
Agent Communication Bottleneck
Education agents across 8+ countries ask the same questions about courses, fees, and accommodation. Manual responses to each agent don't scale during intake season.
Multilingual Content Is Expensive
Marketing to Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Thai students requires native-language content. Hiring translators for every piece of content is cost-prohibitive.
What an effective website looks like for this industry
Based on real NZ industry research, sampled from 3 to 5 live websites in this industry plus the relevant regulator and association sources.
What it must do
- ✓Class schedule term-aligned (typically 10-week terms) with class times and locations
- ✓Term fees clearly stated with cost per term and trial-lesson offer
- ✓Online enrolment with Stripe term-fee checkout for kids and adults
- ✓Teacher bios with native-speaker, qualification, years teaching
- ✓Levels offered matrix (beginner / HSK 1-6 / heritage / kids vs adults)
- ✓Photos of classroom, recital / Chinese New Year performance, end-of-term report (for kids' programmes)
- ✓For PTEs targeting international students: NZQA Category badge in header, course catalogue with intake dates and weekly fees, multilingual site (ZH-Hans, ZH-Hant, JA, KO, ES, PT, AR, TH), accommodation page
Recommended package
Online Payments Website (Store)
$399+
This industry splits cleanly. Community / heritage language schools default to Store: term-fee Stripe checkout, class schedule, teacher bios, online enrolment for kids and adults, bilingual EN + heritage language. NZQA-registered PTEs targeting international students belong on Premium because they need 8+ language versions, course intake calendars, agent portals and Pastoral Care disclosure pages.
Trust signals NZ customers expect
- NZQA Category (1 / 2 / 3 / 4) and year of last EER for registered PTEs (mandatory disclosure)
- Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021 signatory disclosure
- NZQA-prescribed refund policy meeting Code minimums
- Approved Pathway Education Provider status (Immigration NZ list) where applicable
- Children's Act 2014 safety check for community-school teachers working with under-18s
- Public liability insurance for leased classroom premises
- Privacy Act 2020 privacy policy

What We Don't Do, By Design
These boundaries exist to protect you and your customers.
- AI won't assess a student's English proficiency. That requires a qualified teacher and a formal placement test
- AI won't provide immigration or visa advice. It shares factual requirements and refers to licensed advisers
- AI won't guarantee course outcomes or employment prospects
- AI won't access or share individual student academic records without authorisation
These boundaries protect your NZQA registration, your students' privacy, and your professional reputation. AI handles the front desk. Your teachers handle the classroom.
