AI training providers in New Zealand.

This guide covers training for a group of staff: workshops, in-house sessions and courses on the tool you already pay for. For a qualification or a self-paced course for one person, including technical courses from NobleProg, see our guide to AI courses in New Zealand.

For team training, ask whether exercises use your own documents, which tools are covered and what happens afterwards.

New Zealand AI training providers compared

Provider profiles

Levy Street

Levy Street is a Wellington AI engineering and advisory company whose AI training for business teams runs on the team’s own documents and software, in ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot or Gemini. Every session covers checking output and what must never go into a prompt, followed by free lessons on our Learn site. The habits we teach come from our own work, including MOGGED Digital, our AI-native digital studio, and World of ClaudeCraft, built with coding agents. We do not issue certificates or publish prices.

365 Training Hub

365 Training Hub is a New Zealand Microsoft 365 and Copilot training consultancy offering hands-on Copilot training tailored to a team and a four-month Copilot change membership. Its course list includes a three-hour Copilot workshop for senior leaders.

ACE Training

ACE Training has offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch and has traded since 1987. Its Copilot and AI catalogue listed 36 courses on 20 October 2026, from NZ$89 + GST for one hour, and any can be run in-house.

AI New Zealand

AI New Zealand, founded in 2017 by Auckland-based Justin Flitter, sells self-paced certificate courses, including Copilot and Claude courses; managers see each person’s progress but not their answers. Its certificates are not an accredited qualification. It also runs a three-hour executive briefing for up to 15 leaders.

AI Supercharge

AI Supercharge is a Wellington provider of in-person AI training, with public courses at Victoria University of Wellington’s Rutherford House and sessions built around a team’s real tasks anywhere in New Zealand, run by two facilitators for no more than 25 people.

Curiosity

Curiosity is a Wānaka practice run by Nadia Ellis that works with executives, leaders and teams on AI coaching, capability building and workshops, and publishes a library of free guides.

Lumify Work

Lumify Work is an IT training company with locations in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Its one-day Copilot for Microsoft 365 course provides a Copilot licence for the day.

Matrix AI

Matrix AI lists offices in Orewa (Auckland) and Wellington, plus Sydney and Brisbane. It runs private Copilot workshops, hands-on in the client’s own Microsoft 365 environment where possible, and no public courses.

Mosaic Partners

Mosaic Partners runs two-hour AI fundamentals workshops for 10 to 500 people, online or on site, presented in Copilot or ChatGPT. Its public workshop is NZ$300 + GST a ticket.

Waboom AI

Waboom AI is an Auckland company that also sells AI voice agents. Its team training is hands-on in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Microsoft Copilot, alongside executive workshops for leadership teams.

How to choose an AI training provider

Decide what people must be able to do a month after training. One person learning one tool needs a dated course; a team changing how it works needs sessions on its own files; leaders need a workshop that ends in decisions, such as our executive AI workshops. Large consultancies also train within wider programmes: Deloitte New Zealand lists AI fluency for boards, leaders and teams among its AI services. Ask any provider, including us:

• Will exercises use our own documents and tools, with personal details removed?
• Which tools and plans does the material cover, and when was it last updated?
• How many participants per facilitator, and how much time is hands-on?
• What does it teach about privacy and what must never be entered?
• What follows the session: clinics, lessons, a shared prompt library?
• How will we measure whether people use what they learned?
• Is the price per person or per group, including GST and travel?

Our training needs assessment helps with the first question. For a view on your own team, book a short assessment conversation; if a scheduled course above suits you better, we will say so.

Where AI training goes wrong

• Training before the rules. Without approved tools and plans, staff practise on personal accounts. The Privacy Commissioner advises against entering personal or confidential information unless the provider has confirmed it is not retained or disclosed (OPC). Our AI use policy template is a starting point.
• The wrong tool. A Copilot course does little for a team that works in Claude, and the reverse.
• One session, no follow-up. Habits form in the weeks after; ask for clinics or an internal champion.
• Counting attendance, not use. Measure weekly use and time on two or three named tasks.

Funding, GST and data: New Zealand specifics

• Subsidised training. business.govt.nz says the Regional Business Partner Network offers subsidised training, including AI workshops. AI Supercharge and Mosaic Partners each say a course is registered with it; your regional Growth Advisor decides eligibility.
• The AI Advisory Pilot funds advice, not training. It co-funds up to 50% of an AI roadmap and its implementation for businesses with 50 or fewer full-time equivalent staff, and runs until 30 June 2027.
• Compare like with like. Most providers quote excluding GST; the University of Auckland quotes including GST.
• Course platforms hold data. AI New Zealand, for example, says learner information is kept in Sydney, with some processing in the United States. Ask any online provider.
