Our qualifications comprise 4 modules of learning and span either 6 or 12 months. Upfront teaching occurs during weekend wananga which are held once a month. Tutorial support is provided 2 days a week and assessments may be completed during noho wananga, during tutorial support sessions or through the self-directed learning component of the programmes.
We recognise that many people often have years of experience in the work they do. For this we are able to recognise your prior experience or your current competencies. This means your study hours may be significantly reduced. More information regarding this option is available upon request.
