Academic Success Short Courses
We offer free courses to support your achievement in your chosen programme of study. These flexible, skills-focused courses are short and engaging with interactive content delivered through our online learning platform, Moodle. Our courses can help you meet entry requirements, boost your study confidence, or provide a refresher if you're returning to study.
Flexible study options
If you're interested in Academic Success short courses, we offer start dates that allow completion before your programme begins. For more information, chat to our Kaimahi.
You can study either fully online or you can choose to study online and attend tutorials at the Petone/Porirua campus. 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 short courses.
Entry requirements
These short courses are in place for ākonga who have enrolled in a Whitireia or WelTec programme.

More and more New Zealanders are choosing a local study pathway through dedicated vocational education providers to gain the qualifications they need to get ahead and into their dream job. We offer a range of programmes of study at certificates, diplomas, degrees, and postgraduate qualifications. Our programmes have been developed in conjunction with industry to offer excellent vocational qualifications that are future-focused and provide ākonga with practical skills to pursue their career goals.
We are known for our Ahureitanga (distinctiveness), and we have special relationships with Iwi mana whenua as our campuses are in their rohe: Te Āti Awa and Ngāti Toa Rangatira. Together, we are more than the sum of our parts.
Mā tātou, mō tātou ko WelTec ki Te Āti Awa, ko Whitireia ki Ngāti Toa Rangatira. E haere kōtui nei me kura-takahi-puni tātou. Together, we will lead and illuminate our communities through vocational education.
