Our Story
AKA Education Group brings together six of New Zealand’s leading Private Tertiary Providers: Alpha Educational Institute, Kauri Academy, AGI Education, SRA Academy, CC Training Academy (CCTA) and Auckland College of Tertiary Studies (ACTS)
Combining proven expertise and outstanding learner outcomes in the Business, Healthcare, Makeup artistry, and construction sectors, we have come together with a vision to grow and empower our students to make a difference for themselves, their whanau and their society.

At AKA Education Group we put our students at the heart of everything we do, engaging and nurturing our students and maintaining a focus on the ability to ‘do’ rather than just ‘know’. In this way we guide and support our students on their journeys into their chosen careers.

Mission:
Te aka (the vine) naturally grows upwards but needs support to climb towards the light. Our mission is to be the support that allows our students to grow, develop and flourish, creating a better future for themselves, their whanau and their society.
To do this we put our students at the centre of everything we do. We engage and empower our students. We nurture their growth to unlock the potential within. We understand that it’s not enough to ‘know’, you need to be able to ‘do’.
We grow our business through growing our students.
