As well as completing the compulsory blocks of teaching experience in schools, you can choose to study this qualification on campus or online. The requirements and content are the same for both modes of delivery and you can expect around 40-50 hours of course work and study per week. On campus study includes timetabled lectures, tutorials and exams in Wellington. If you're looking for a more flexible study and have good self-management skills, you can attend your classes online. If you're planning to do this programme online from the Hawkes Bay, note there are a limited number of placements available in local schools and placements may need to be arranged outside the immediate area of Hastings, Havelock North and Napier.

Bachelor's degree or equivalent, police check, references and selection meeting. You may also be required to demonstrate your proficiency in English.
