How it all started:

In 2005, engineer Peter Robieson launched Edvance, fulfilling his dream to help others access basic skills to manage everyday business tasks. Based in Tauranga, Edvance built a team of passionate staff who are experts in their fields and committed to the vision of changing lives for the better. In 2015, Edvance established an office in Auckland and in 2019, that site became the Head Office, with training being delivered nationwide.

A new chapter in the organisation's history began in June 2024, when Edvance was acquired by the New Zealand Skills and Education Group whānau to further growth and align with its vision and strategy. NZSEG brings more than 20 years experience in the education and training sector, and is founded on the belief of empowering peoples lives through the power of learning. This acquisition will enable Edvance to continue to grow and expand its much sought-after services across Aotearoa New Zealand.
