Image of Palmerston North School of Design Palmerston North School of Design:
Palmerston North School of Design is a private design school located on The Square St. in Palmerston North Central. Palmerston North is the main city of the Manawatu-Wanganui region of the North Island of New Zealand. We provide courses for students who have creative talent and ability but lack the necessary skills and qualifications to go onto tertiary design training or gain employment in the design industry.

The core design programmes have streams in Graphic Design and Computer Graphics or Fashion Design and Textiles and are taught to NZQA level 4. The courses do not simply prepare students for entry to higher level training or employment, but give them the opportunity to excel. Palmerston North School of Design has the highest quality rating from NZQA.
