To find out if you are potentially eligible, you will need to have an initial discussion with kaimahi to check out what will be needed to have your experience recognised before completing your study on a full-time or part-time basis.
In your RPL discussion, we will talk with you about what courses you will need to complete and how that might be achieved.
