I had her for an alpine guides TMC about 5 or 6 years ago and she was excellent. A good instructor as well as a guide.

These courses are variable and do cater for the lowest skill level of the group. So you are best to gather a group of semi-skilled fit friends to get the most out of them. New Zealand Mountain Guides Assoiciation have a list of qualified guides and contact details. You will save some $ if you go direct to a guide instead of through a company. http://www.nzmga.org.nz/contact_directory.php

Any instruction you get will be helpful. I doubt though that a course in Oz will be adequate on its own to deal with the kind of alpine environment you will get in NZ. You would still need some instruction over there.

Expect to have bad weather every second day in NZ.
