How It All Began?

Learner Me didn’t start with a business plan. It started with a gap — one that kept getting wider.

Across regional New Zealand, tech jobs were growing fast, but the pool of qualified professionals wasn’t keeping up. Even when graduates came through traditional pathways, many lacked the real-world experience that employers were desperate for.

​

So in 2017, a small team of educators, techies, and dreamers sat down with one big question: How can we do this differently?

The answer was bold — build something from scratch. By 2018, that idea had evolved into Learner Me, a purpose-built online learning platform designed for speed, relevance, and hands-on learning.

​

And learners came. By 2019, our digital classrooms grew into physical spaces where students could immerse themselves in the work, not just the theory.

​

Then came 2020. Learner Me became officially NZQA registered, and our campus expanded to support up to 50 students at a time — each with their own dual-monitor workstation, ready to code, create, and solve real-world problems.

​

It’s never just been about qualifications. It’s been about creating confident, capable professionals who are ready to step into the world of tech — with their heads up and their hands on.
