Level 1 Certificates

A Level 1 Certificate course is considered a foundation courses where the basic general knowledge is covered. Typically there are highly structured contexts with a large amount of interacting with fellow students.

Upon the completion of a Level 1 qualification, you will be able to apply general solutions to simple problems and possess foundation skills.

Level 2 Certificates

Following a Level 1 qualification, the Level 2 Certificate course is further advancing on foundation knowledge, with more hands-on work. There is still a certain level of collaboration; however, there is a higher level of responsibility for your learning and overall performance.

Level 3 Certificates

To achieve a Level 3 Certificate Qualification sees both operational and theoretical knowledge applied with limited supervision. Dependant on the content of the course and recognition of prior learning a Certificate III can sometimes qualify someone to apply for a full time or part-time job in that field.

Level 4 Certificates

Similar to the Level 3 Qualification, a Certificate IV is of a broad enough course in both operational and theoretical knowledge to provide someone with the tools to find a career in their study field. A Level 4 Certificate Course requires more self-management of learning with broad guidance.

Level 5 Certificates

If you are considering a new career in a field that has more practical than theoretical knowledge required, a Level 5 Certificate is a fantastic qualification level that covers the foundational knowledge and more before specialisation occurs. This certificate course is suitable for career fields such as aged care, hairdressing, beauty therapy, business administration and child care.

Level 6 Certificates

A Level 6 Certificate course is when specialisation occurs; this qualification is suitable for those who are looking to expand their skills but not want to participate in further studies such as an advanced diploma or bachelor degree. Career pathways in interior design, project management and bookkeeping are suitable for a Level 6 qualification.

Following these certificates include:

  • Level 7: Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas and Bachelor degrees
  • Level 8: Postgraduate Certificates, Postgraduate Diplomas and Bachelor’s Honours degrees
  • Level 9: Master’s degrees
  • Level 10: Doctoral degrees

Entry requirements for higher-level diploma courses and bachelor degrees are often more specific than those for traineeships and short courses. It is essential to always enquire at the NZ educational provider of your choice for the options available. 

Certificate courses cover so many fields and job opportunities ranging from community services and digital media technologies to human resources and early childhood education and care. They are a great way to expand your current knowledge or even to start an entirely new career in beautiful New Zealand.
