How we support organisations
Whether you want to upskill 2 of your people or all 200, we're here to help. One example is our two-part micro-credential in project management, co-developed with NZTA | Waka Kotahi to upskill their team's confidence and knowledge in effectively managing a range of projects (a skill critical to transport system delivery and maintenance).

"Thank you so much for the very interesting Data Ethics course. A special thanks to [my facilitator] who has been so patient and accommodating. I have learnt so much. I feel I gained a lot of structure and now have great tools at disposal to master my daily job challenges."
Emma Renowden, Aerospace Cluster Lead
Christchurch NZ
"We really enjoyed the course – for us it was the right amount of content over a good duration; and the content was at the right level (not super intro, but not so academic that it was hard to digest)."
Belinda De Oliveira, Team Leader - Learning & Development
Mercury Energy
“There were some valuable topics that I feel I have learned from, and can definitely apply to the way we do things in our team in a way that improves quality.”
Karen Haigh, Talent Specialist - High Growth Industries
Christchurch NZ
"We all found [Ngā Herenga] really useful and felt that it delivered what it promised, a good foundational level understanding of the history of the Treaty and context around it. We'll be recommending it to the wider team."
Jonelle Quane, Personal Development Manager
Crusaders Academic & Canterbury Rugby
"We were seeking an academic transition programme specifically tailored to the needs of our athletes and [Academic Writing Basics] more than delivered."
