Open Learning for an Open World The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand is a leader in flexible vocational learning, providing services internationally for: • Students • Education Partners • Governments and Organisations

About the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand is a unique learning institution, combining the scale and reach of distance learning with delivery of job-relevant skills and qualifications. Our portfolio ranges from trades qualifications to applied degrees. We are internationally recognised as a leader in our field and a past recipient of the Commonwealth of Learning’s top award for institutional excellence in distance education, along with other national and international awards.

As New Zealand’s national polytechnic, we offer the security and certainty of a Government owned and accredited institution with nearly 70 years’ experience in supporting students and organisations with vocational learning in their time and place.

We are also New Zealand’s major educator of people in the workforce. Our qualifications are accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, internationally recognised, and focus on delivering applied Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to suit employers and industry.

OPEN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING We are an international leader in delivering TVET through distance and blended learning. We remove the barriers of time, place and cost to deliver effective, scalable learning solutions. We are experts in designing and delivering skills and competency based learning solutions within blended and networked learning environments. We also work closely with industry to deliver vocational training and accredited national standards and qualifications.

As demand for technical and vocational skills grows worldwide, our proven delivery of flexible learning can increase access to skills and opportunity for people of all backgrounds and educational levels.

We work with international organisations and government agencies to help create flexible learning systems that can either stand alone or be integrated into existing training structures.

Our scalable distance and blended model is underpinned by strong learning design, quality assurance and delivery systems. It provides access to a wide portfolio of qualifications and to custom-designed TVET learning solutions. Our processes mean we can cost-effectively reach large numbers of learners across organisations, regions and countries.

FOR STUDENTS – COURSES AND QUALIFICATIONS THAT WORK Delivery by distance and blended learning means our students can gain New Zealand accredited vocational qualifications by studying in their own country. We can also help our students to take up further study at other education providers in New Zealand.

We specialise in flexible learning that is designed to help our students fit study around their life commitments. Wherever they are in the world our students are supported by our high quality learning resources and services.

Our qualifications are also approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. Students gain work skills that can further their careers or continue to do further study in New Zealand.
