This part-time certificate program caters to working educators and professionals in education-related fields. Earn your initial postgraduate credential by completing just two courses. Choose from diverse offerings including digital education, mentoring, early childhood development, educational reform, literacy studies, sports education, health and wellness, second language acquisition, and support for Māori learners. We provide adaptable learning formats to accommodate our communities' evolving needs. High-achieving students (GPA 5+) can apply these courses toward a Master of Education, if the certificate hasn't been conferred. Begin your postgraduate education journey with any relevant diploma or bachelor's degree. After completing two courses, you'll earn a specialized qualification in your chosen educational focus area.
You must have completed a Bachelor of Education (Teaching), a Bachelor of Arts (Education), or a relevant bachelors degree (such as in Arts (Music) or Science), with a GPA of 3.0 or higher; or you can gain entry if you have completed a Graduate Diploma in Education, a Graduate Diploma in TESOL, or a Graduate Diploma in Teaching (ECE, Primary, Secondary), or an equivalent programme.
Or, you can gain entry if you have a relevant professional qualification in education (such as a one-year postgraduate qualification in teaching) and two years teaching experience as approved by the Head of School.
