Tai Poutini Polytechnic is a selection of campuses spread across New Zealand offering many different courses in tertiary education. The main campus is based in Greymouth on the West Coast region of New Zealand, but also incorporates the Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand (MAINZ) in Auckland and Christchurch; the Mountain Education Centre of New Zealand (MECNZ), in Wanaka; and the Training for Industry Centres also in Auckland and Christchurch.

Opening in 1990 in Greymouth, with only 90 students, it is now noted as one of the fastest growing polytechnics in New Zealand. Since then it has seen unprecedented growth and now has over 3000 students enrolled in various courses. A modern purpose-built facility has been built in Greymouth, while specialist campuses are also located at Auckland, Christchurch, Hokitika, Reefton, Wanaka and Westport.
