Education and Teaching Courses

Kia Māori ā tātou mokopuna

Our qualifications are aimed at developing and nurturing our people's sense of identity as Māori while giving our people the necessary knowledge and skills of a particular industry, advantaging you in the Aotearoa workforce and beyond. See through a Māori world view as you learn to integrate Māori knowledge into all aspects of your life.

Study to become a teacher in Māori medium, bilingual or early childhood settings and learn from a base of mātauranga Māori while being supported with TeachNZ Study Awards and Scholarships. Our postgrad options allow existing degree holders with te reo fluency to enter the classroom with Whakaakoranga Akorau or for existing teachers the opportunity to move into management with Poutāhū and Tāhuhu Whakaakoranga.

Our qualifications at diploma level and above can be thought of as a triple major with 50 percent of the qualification focusing on the specialisation and the other half divided evenly between te reo Māori and iwi and hapū studies.
