Education Unlimited partners with businesses who want to use workplace training to develop their people.
We believe that training goes deeper than simply learning skills. Our team provides a supportive environment for businesses and learners that has a wide-reaching impact beyond the workplace.
We help businesses develop their people, to foster growth, empowering people to ‘turn-up’ with their whole selves to work. This drives innovation, change, connection and positively impacts the business, leaving it in a better place than we found it.
With decades of combined experience in education and training sectors, our team of trainers are passionate about creating a world where workplace training transforms the lives of people and communities.
Tina’s publishing background showed her that literacy is key to unlocking the world around us and from there her fourth baby was born. She also has three human children and a very lucky fur-child who often gets two walks a day. Her superpower is always finding a carpark (very handy when in Auckland).
Maureen loves what she does. She knows that educating one person can help a whānau which helps a community. She is passionate about contributing to the kaupapa of Education Unlimited and brought in her partner, Tom to help create Education Unlimited’s whakatauākī. She’s an avid declutter-er and loves to sew.

Janny is of mixed Laos and Thai heritage, speaks three different languages, and is an avid fan of the great outdoors, self-development books, and travelling. A jack of many trades, she has managed big chain gyms, led a service delivery team in an immigration consultancy, and helped coordinate programmes of work in a state-owned horticulture and agriculture enterprise. Now, as Education Unlimited’s Business Delivery Manager, she’s finally found her fit. “I have a Bachelor of Physical Education and always wanted to find my way back to education. I love the concept of providing learners with invaluable skills that will enhance their lives and help them contribute meaningfully to society.”
When it comes to living and learning there’s not much Jenna hasn’t done. She’s lived all over the world (from Perth to Glasgow to Amsterdam) and done myriad jobs (from selling nail polish to being a PA and a group fitness instructor for seniors). A lifelong learner, Jenna completed postgraduate studies in 2019 and now she’s working towards an adult teaching qualification. She also teaches leadership at Education Unlimited and ensures our South Island programmes run seamlessly. When she’s not at work? You’ll find her on the squash court or in the Great Outdoors.
Losana has always been drawn to education, initially dreaming of becoming a high school history teacher, and more recently working in early childhood. But at Education Unlimited Losana has found her true calling – not only can she help people on their learning journeys, but she can also give back to her Pasifika and Māori community, and support families to build generational knowledge. When she’s not uplifting workplaces and communities, you’ll find Losana injecting fresh life into Queen Anne furniture.
Andrea keeps the Education Unlimited HQ running smoothly, supporting the team to drive positive change and helping to uplift the Kiwi workforce. While she’s at it, she’s strengthening her te reo Māori and cultural competency through Education Unlimited’s internal Māori development programme Ka Ora. When she’s not at work? You’ll find Andrea raising her two teenage boys, singing backup vocals, and pursuing opportunities for personal and spiritual development.
Covid brought Steve back to New Zealand from China where he explored his love of new places and cultures and learnt a bit of Mandarin. In his role at Education Unlimited he enjoys meeting new people and helping them grow through training. A father of twin girls, he is enjoying time with them at the beach.
June loves that she plays a part in positive changes to the working and personal lives of those she teaches and getting to work with colleagues at Education Unlimited who share her passion for education. A self-confessed organiser, she likes to bring together family and friends over a meal and is most proud of her four children, three of whom are profoundly deaf, and what they have accomplished so far. With one grandchild in the mix, being with family is June’s happy place.
Martin loves the wider impact education has on whānau and communities and enjoys seeing the broader outcomes of his work. His passion for the industry drove him to complete a masters degree in Adult Literacy while working and raising two children. He has a passion for live music and hidden talents that include juggling and playing the piano.
5-year-old Jeanie clearly remembers deciding she was going to be a teacher. A specialist in teaching those with learning disabilities, Jeanie has a knack for being able to teach in a way that clicks. She says not much comes close to helping an adult learn their own cell phone number or being able to write their partner a note. Right up there with her passion for teaching is her love of the outdoors and exploring her 10-acre property in Golden Bay.
Between us we have over 100 years’ experience in the education sector/field. Our team has a wide range of experience from the corporate world to working with disabilities and across all cultures. Because of this, we know how to get the best outcomes for you and your people.
We are flexible and agile - constantly evolving to keep ahead of the curve. We especially love to create bespoke training to suit specific business needs. Because we are forward-thinking, we can keep your business one step ahead.
We walk the talk. We really do believe that education is the key to unlocking the world around us - it’s the greatest leveller and should be accessible to all. It is this belief that drives our team to deliver consistently exceptional tailored training for your people and business.
We are passionate about creating a world where everyone, no matter their role or background, can learn, develop and grow through training. This ensures they meet the needs of their workplace in an evolving world while forging strong healthy relationships beyond their job.

We recently teamed up with Duffy Books in Homes (DBIH) as the founding sponsor of their first-ever comic ‘Duffy and the Bullies’, which is being distributed to the 560-plus schools nationwide who participate in the DBIH programme. Education Unlimited director Tina Rose couldn’t be prouder.
