Applicants with the NCEA Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy requirements are automatically accepted onto the programme if numbers allow.
An up-to-date CV or a personal declaration will be required of those without the NCEA criteria to demonstrate their potential to succeed. An interview will be carried out if the CV or personal declaration does not initially demonstrate the potential to succeed.
Acceptance onto the programme will be on a first come, first served basis.
Rationale for entry requirements and process
Basic Literary and Numeracy skills in order to complete assignments and motivation are the crucial components for success at this level.
Interviews
An interview may be required.
Applicants for whom English is not their first language must have an acceptable level of English language fluency prior to enrolment in the programme. This may be demonstrated in a variety of ways, including successful study of a programme in which English was the language of instruction, completion of a New Zealand Certificate in English Language (Level 3), approved scores on IELTS tests (Academic score of 5.5 with bands no lower than 5.0) or completion of accepted international equivalents.
