All Instructors will be expected to hold the National Certificate in Adult Education (NCAE) Level 4 or equivalent by 1st July 2016. This is to meet current industry trends dictated by NZQA and Maritime NZ. The standards chosen reflect the desire of industry to develop best practice trainers in a range of contexts.

The qualification has been designed for people with diverse backgrounds and experience who are seeking a qualification in the adult education and training field.

On completion of the qualification you will be able to:

This 49 credit programme is broken into two modules; each module is delivered over 2 days with self-directed learning activities, and assessments to be completed in the participants’ own time.

Material will draw on the participant’s actual workplace activities; therefore participants must be in the adult teaching environment.

The programme is designed as an integrated package with learning from each module feeding into the other. Completion of the whole programme will provide completion of the identified unit standards and is the most desirable approach for learners.
