How did Learner Me get started?

Learner Me started from a strong need to find more qualified and experienced tech professionals in regional New Zealand. Every year, the number of tech jobs advertised have far out-stretched the number of tech graduates to fill those roles. Plus, many technology graduates lack real-world experience.

So, the team at Proformac Technologies and Innovation HQ put their heads together in 2017 to see what could be done.

By 2018, we had developed a complete online learning platform (called Learn HQ) that could deliver fast-paced and engaging courses. By 2019, we had students learning with us in-house at 127 Gill Street. And in 2020, we became officially NZQA-accredited and grew our campus to house 50 students at one time, all at dual-monitor workstations.
