About Us

Compass Seminars is New Zealand's leading and most dynamic provider of day-long and short course professional development training for professionals working with children and young people. For the last 25 years, no one else has offered as many seminars for the child and youth professional sector, in as many places throughout the country as Compass.

We deliver a regular program of events every year in each of the following areas: Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, Manawatu, Wellington, Tasman, Canterbury, Otago and Southland. We also offer a series of webinar based training days that can be accessed from anywhere. Compass Seminars seeks to offer the complete training experience, using the best training talent from New Zealand and overseas.

Our workshops are always based at the best available venues and are supported with a fantastic range of additional services including seminar notes, full catering, handy parking, civilised finish times, and much more. At selected events we also offer a comprehensive bookshop relating to our current topics, with a full range available for purchase on our website at any time. Our bookshop is full of titles that are recommended or written by the trainers that we work with and are selected to reflect our seminar content and themes. For your convenience we offer EFTPOS, credit card and invoicing options at all of our events.

Directorship of Compass is overseen by a past clinician who has worked across a range of child and adolescent agency settings. Our training programme always deals with contemporary issues that are relevant to the workforce in this industry.
