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.

This pathway of study leads to the award of nationally approved qualifications. These qualifications may be taught at a number of other tertiary institutes around New Zealand. If you were to transfer to one of those other institutes you may be granted academic credit for some of the courses completed but this is at the discretion of the other institute.

Please note: Fees are not transferable between institutes.
