Over the past 15 years NZCB has become a reputable and widely recognised institution, with highly qualified teachers and management. NZCB has established formal cooperation and academic relationships with University of Canterbury (UC), Lincoln University (LU) and Massey University (MU). NZCB also has formed academic partnerships with various overseas universities which are highly beneficial in terms of programme recognition and sharing of resources.

NZQA assesses the standard of education for tertiary education organisations through a regular system of external evaluation and review (EER). Through periodic EER, tertiary education organisations are held accountable to their students, employers, funders, quality assurance bodies and other interested parties.
