About the course
The New Zealand Certificate in Skills for Living for Supported Learners is aimed at learners with intellectual disabilities and other learning needs who require tailored support with learning. You’ll learn in a supportive environment where your goals, identity, and culture are valued. And we’ll walk alongside you as you gain confidence to move around your community, connect with others, and explore what’s next – whether it’s more study or getting ready for work. Before you apply for this programme, we would love for you to join our teaching team for a talk and tour session. These are for students, their families and whānau, support people, teachers, and transition specialists. Here, you can find out more about our programme, and take a brief tour of our Mt. Albert campus. Graduates of this programme will be able to progress on to the New Zealand Certificate in Skills for Learning and Working for Supported Learners (Level 1), opening in 2026.
