About the course
Don't have the academic requirements you need to enter one of our diploma- or degree-level healthcare programmes?
This programme will help you bridge the gap!
Gain confidence, study skills and knowledge in a supportive environment with the guidance and advice from experienced teachers, and benefit from the blended, flexible delivery format, allowing you to fit study around other commitments.
During semester one (Level 3), you will study core courses such as Communication Skills and Study and Career Skills and progress to courses such as Function of the Human Body and Introduction to Careers in Health in semester two (Level 4).
Our health programmes also have non-academic entry requirements, so you may need to plan ahead!
This programme is made up of two qualifications:
- New Zealand Certificate in Study and Career Preparation (Level 3) - studied during semester one starting in February
- New Zealand Certificate in Study and Career Preparation (Level 4) - studied during semester two starting in July.
