Graduate diploma Graduate diplomas are qualifications at Level 7 open to students who already hold a recognised degree. They are usually one year long. Level Each programme is classified by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) at a Level from 1 to 10. The higher the Level, the more complex and demanding the programme will be. National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA) NCEA is New Zealand’s main secondary school qualification. NCEA can be gained at Level 1 (usually in Year 11), Level 2 (usually Year 12) and Level 3 (usually Year 13). Different programmes at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic may require you to have a minimum number of NCEA credits at specified levels to be able to enter. New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) The New Zealand Qualifications Authority assures the quality of national qualifications in New Zealand. Pathway At Bay of Plenty Polytechnic you can enter a programme of study at a level that suits your previous work skills and life experience or qualifications. You may have the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to enter directly into a programme, or you may need to start at a lower level with less entry requirements or complete a bridging programme. Many of our programmes directly lead into, or pathway into, further study options either at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic or at other leading national or international tertiary education providers. Programmes A programme is made up of modules, papers or units of study that lead to a qualification. Some programmes require successful completion of compulsory subjects while others offer elective subjects.

Entry requirements Each programme has entry criteria you must meet. These may be academic requirements or work experience. Some programmes have open entry, meaning you only need to be the minimum age for entry into that programme, but no formal requirements are necessary.

Short courses Short courses can range from a few hours up to several weeks in length. Some are intended as professional development (e.g. as preparation for an industry registration), others are open for anyone interested in the course.

If you’re an adult student with life skills and/or work experience you are encouraged to apply, even if you do not meet the academic entry requirements but have the equivalent ability and experience.

“My wife and I have been involved in this kind of work for years. I was a youth coordinator back in Tokoroa where we ran Friday night events to give the local youth somewhere to go. We took it a step further and invited them into our homes. It’s about being there when those young people reach the turning point in their life, and supporting them through it.” “I’m very glad I did this course. It is a fantastic pathway. I didn’t want to take giant steps and get out of my depth. The tutors have a wealth of knowledge to impart. The programme gives a great overview of the social services industry. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the Treaty of Waitangi component of the programme.
