Doing study or training, Te mahi ako, te mahi whakangungu rānei

Even if you’ve got a job, more study or training can bring exciting challenges and better pay. Here are some ideas about how to move forward if you like the job you have now, or if you’re looking for a complete change.

If you’re looking for new skills or a confidence boost, you might find help right around the corner. Adult and Community Education (ACE) is a friendly way to learn in your own community. Most courses are short and easy to fit into your life.

Want to get qualifications without changing your whole life? Distance and online learning might be right for you. You can do full programmes, or bite-sized pieces. There are hundreds of different options for you to choose from.

If you’re a student who is disabled, neurodivergent or needs extra learning support for any reason, there are plenty of options to help you succeed in your tertiary education goals. A wide range of support is usually available for your study or training and you can use this right through your programme or course.

Do you struggle with reading, writing or maths? You’re not alone – many people in school and work find these things hard as well. Getting better at these literacy and numeracy skills makes it easier to learn anything you want to, and can take you closer to getting into your dream mahi.
