The NZAPEP Sector Awards are designed to showcase the achievements of the private tertiary sector. The Awards Dinner is an occasion to focus attention on outstanding people and achievements in the private tertiary sector and to celebrate our successes in the public domain. For this reason all nominations that have been accepted may be made public.

It is also an event by means of which NZAPEP wants to highlight member organisations and therefore for all nominations the name of the provider involved with the nomination will specifically be mentioned.

The awards are to be based on achievements for the 12 months 1 January to 31 December 2009. 

nzapep - cengage learning AWARDS

Tutor of the Year Award
The award will recognise outstanding people in the field of teaching and could include any lecturer, trainer, facilitator or consultant (full-time, part-time, corporate training, etc.) within an NZAPEP member organisation. In this category NZAPEP wants to recognise outstanding persons who have excelled in teaching, training, development or even mentoring during the past 12 months. Evidence from learner evaluations, letters of appreciation, etc. Should be included as additional supporting material.

Provider of the Year Award
In this category NZAPEP wants to give recognition to the provider which has been outstanding in the promotion of quality assurance in a private provider organisation. In considering the nomination in this category, the definition and ideals of tertiary education should be kept in mind as reflected by NZQA quality assurance documents.

Student of the Year Award
This award is seen as a way of highlighting the achievements of students and celebrating the work carried out by the private tertiary education sector. The Executive feel that all private tertiary institutions will support the concept of recognising excellence as a general concept and in particular rewarding the student who is deserving of recognition as the Student of the Year.

nzapep - l h martin leadership award

It is with great pleasure that NZAPEP welcomes a new sponsor for the Leadership Award – LH Martin Institute for Higher Education Leadership and Management

The LH Martin Institute has been established to enhance tertiary education in Australia and New Zealand by providing a suite of programs and activities focused on institutional management and leadership and tailored to the particular needs of the sector.

Tertiary education is a complex and rapidly changing environment in which to lead and manage – one in which a strong understanding of both the nature of tertiary organisations and the policy environment in which they operate is crucial to success. Within this context, the LH Martin Institute aims to contribute to the leadership and management development of current and aspiring leaders so that institutions may fulfil their missions more successfully.

This category could include nominees from management, campus heads, administrators, or marketers that have excelled in performance, participation and achievements during the past 12 months in leadership, or any aspect of management in tertiary education. Through this category NZAPEP wants to recognise exceptional leadership in the business of private tertiary education. Growth in student numbers, student satisfaction, increased profitability, full accreditation and registration achievements, the establishment of new campus buildings, etc. can all be used as nomination material.

This year’s recipient of The LH Martin Institute Leadership Award will receive a scholarship to attend an executive education short course together with a cash prize.
