NorthTec (Tai Tokerau Wānanga) is a tertiary education provider in northern New Zealand, with its main campus in Raumanga, Whangārei.

The college grew rapidly and became instrumental in supplying Refining NZ at nearby Marsden Point, with skilled workers.

[4] Areas of study include: Agriculture, Automotive Engineering, Business, Construction, Forestry, Horticulture, Social Services and Te Reo.

The campus comprises classrooms, an on-site administration building, a computer suite and two large workshops for the practical delivery of trades programmes.

NorthTec's Bay of Islands campus, Te Pou o Manako, on Hone Heke Road, Kerikeri reopened in 2018 in partnership with local hapū, Ngāti Rēhia, after being closed in December 2017.

Under the agreement, Ngāti Rēhia will take on responsibility for managing Te Pou o Manako, NorthTec's Kerikeri campus.

The new agreement takes the partnership into an operational mode with the aim of meeting the needs of whānau, hapū and the local community through programme delivery.

[5] The campus remains open to community groups and is located on Nimmo Street, in the small historic town of Rawene.

Morning karakai is also conducted at the marae for staff and students each week day, although this has shifted to an online mode via zoom during the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

International students from China, Japan, India, the US, North Africa and other countries take advantage of the English language, hospitality, business, nursing and other quality courses on offer at NorthTec.
