We're adaptive

As part of the School of Innovation, Design and Technology, we have access to on-campus and online tools to deliver our courses. We’re flexible in our approach and this means you can connect into learning in ways that best suit you.

Study in Petone

Our Petone campus is proud to welcome you in, to start or continue, your study journey. Our Kaiako (tutors) are based here to deliver all timetabled IT classes as part of your courses. Learning in an on-campus environment is great for networking, shared problem-solving and accessing additional support and services – but we know it doesn’t suit everyone all the time. You can also access class live-streams, recordings and materials online.

Learn IT outside of Petone

We have computer labs at our Whitireia Porirua campus, so you can join your peers and dial-in to our Kaiako-led classes from the location nearest to you. Our facilities across all locations are open to you to during and after classes. Plan work groups, star clusters or meet-ups on-campus, or online at any time.
