Hmmm...good question. As far as I know, Kiwis are natural born sailors and are given both a yachtmasters ticket and a birth certificate when they first pop out and the midwife grabs them by the feet and whacks their bottoms. I could be wrong. Give it a go......

Why don't you look up the schools that offer this training in New Zealand and send them an email.

RYA certification is not all that popular in NZ due to it not being accepted locally by Maritime NZ. Most people who are going down the RYA route are planning to work offshore.
From memory there are about 10 RYA accredited schools here and I think they are mainly doing day sailing and entry level powerboat kind of levels. There are 2 or 3 that do Yachtmaster level regularly. I don't believe they have a high turnover of staff.
As mentioned earlier, you are probably better to do a google search and approach the schools individually.
Drop me a line if you need any more info as I am currently in NZ 
Cheers
