FAQs

Our online learning is designed to be accessed anywhere, anytime. That means as long as you meet assessment deadlines and attend any synchronous (live online) sessions, you can study when and where it suits you. 

Just keep in mind that all timeframes are based on Aotearoa New Zealand time. So if an assignment is due at 8am NZT, that might mean 6am for you! Don’t worry, though, your facilitator will help you ensure you've got the right deadlines in your calendar, and can support you with extensions if needed.
