The Yoobee Way

 Yoobee College of Creative Innovation is committed to developing generation after generation of New Zealand’s leading creative and technical talents. We’ve been doing it for 30 years under various guises and will continue for a long time to come. We believe that it takes time to become an expert, that mentorship is the key to successful work, and that relationships are central to thriving careers.

BECOME AN EXPERT

10,000 hours

Creative and technical talents need time to become experts. Our focus is on practical training where you get to hone your craft. You won’t spend three years in lectures – instead you’ll spend your time developing skills and producing industry-quality work.

FOCUSED TUTORING

Mentorship

Small class sizes form the backbone of the Yoobee educational model. We focus on relationships, face-to-face time with tutors and the deep mentorship required to breed top creative and technical talent. We also focus on providing deep connections with industry, fostering mentorship that will live past your time at Yoobee.

CREATIVE CONNECTION

Your Tribe

Creativity is fuelled by connection. Our focus on smaller class sizes and campuses means you can build the strong relationships needed to fuel your creative and technical careers. You’ll find your tribe at Yoobee. It’s something we pride ourselves on.
