Compass Seminars is New Zealand’s leading professional development training provider for professionals who work with Children, Young People and Families. Compass delivers more training, in more New Zealand cities, than anyone else in the industry. Read more below.
The management team at Compass are all experienced ex-clinicians from a range of child and adolescent agency settings so you know that our training programme always deals with contemporary issues that are relevant to the workforce in this industry.
Compass Seminars is New Zealand's leading and most dynamic provider of day-long, professional development training for professionals working with children and young people. No one else offers as many seminars for the child and youth sector, in as many places throughout the country as Compass.
We coordinate and host up to 4 seminars a 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 will also happily arrange events in other areas upon request. We seek to offer the complete training experience, using the best training talent from New Zealand and overseas.
We base our workshops at the best available venues and support them with a fantastic range of additional services including seminar notes, mouth-watering catering, convenient parking, civilised finish times, and much much more. At all of our events we also offer a comprehensive bookshop relating to all our current topics. We search the world to find the most up to date and relevant resources and literature (see our Books and Resources). For your convenience we offer EFTPOS, Credit Card and invoicing options at all of our events.
Craig McKenzie, Manager
Craig is the Manager of Compass Seminars. Originally from a background in Child and Adolescent social work, Craig now oversees the general operations of Compass and his key areas of responsibility are trainer recruitment and relationship management, event hosting, and the development of new business.
Craig always prefers talking (about anything) to working so you can be sure he will be up for a chat if you call the office.
He is famous (in his own mind) for his own unique rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody - not that this talent is always appreciated by others in the Compass office.
Craig can be contacted by emailing craig@compass.ac.nz
Casey Adlam, Events Administration
Casey is our 'details focused' Events Administrator. She is all about customer service and if you call or email our office, it will probably be Casey you are talking with.
Casey joined the Compass team at the start of 2023. She has a passion for travel and enjoys the adventure of immersing herself in new cultures. In her spare time you will probably find her at the beach with her family (which includes Dexter the Dashshund)
Her guilty pleasures in life are Lindt Chocolate, Poutine (chips, cheese and gravy), and a good glass of bubbles (although not necessarily all at the same time).
Casey can be contacted by emailing office@compass.ac.nz
Ros McKenzie, Operations & Accounts
Ros is our Operations Manager. She looks after the financial side of the operation, making sure everybody gets paid.
Prior to joining Compass Ros worked as a clinician in Child & Adolescent Mental Health and also provided specialist consultation services to the education sector. This experience means that she also plays a central role in finalising seminar content to ensure it is relevant to our customers needs.
Ros likes a good cup of tea, well crafted shoes, and any song by Adele. You hum it.,...she'll sing it!
