The institute has two campuses around Taranaki; the main campus is situated in New Plymouth, and the other is located in Hawera. WITT is accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.

Since 2009, WITT has welcomed their highest number of students in more than a decade.[2]

On 1 April 2020, WITT will be subsumed into New Zealand Institute of Skills & Technology alongside the 15 other Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs).[3]

Open day

WITT annually hosts an open day where students can look at the courses and ask the educators questions.

gollark: Why not run your critical services under Linux with its generally faster boot?
gollark: Good for, I don't know, video editing and whatnot.
gollark: As I said though, I don't think it's usually the bottleneck and I do not think it would eke out more than a few seconds at most for boot.
gollark: Oh, they dropped the 970's prices? In any case other 1TB disks are available for maybe £80-£90 and NVMe ones for a little more.
gollark: Pointlessly fast because sequential IO, which is the main point of NVMe disks, is not usually the bottleneck.
