Flexible study options

You can study either fully online or you can choose to study online and attend optional tutorials at the Porirua campus/online. Content will be delivered via Moodle (our online learning platform). This will require you to have a computer/laptop and internet access at home. A tutor will be there to support you on your journey through the micro-credentials.

Completion of the Tūāpapa micro-credentials will not affect your fees free eligibility.
