If you’re looking to gain knowledge in an industry, area, or interest, then a short course in New Zealand could be perfect for you! With a variety of study options, from summer school to postgraduate study, you can learn new skills or take a refresher course in areas of professional development to make lifelong learning a reality!

What are Short Courses?

Short courses cover a range of qualifications through a range of institutions to teach and qualify you to undertake your hobbies, passions or careers more effectively. There are courses available in almost every area and industry, including:

  • Information technology
  • Health Sciences
  • English Skills
  • Project Management
  • Barista and Hospitality Skills
  • Social Media 
  • First Aid
  • Maori Language
  • Social Sciences

Depending on which qualification you complete, it may allow you to simply understand the basics of the industry, or become a specialist in your field. 

Short courses can both complement or replace higher education, depending on which industry you’re interested in studying. Short courses tend to be taught as:

  • Specialist short courses, such as flower arranging or other hobbies/specific skills
  • Certificate I, II, III
  • Certificate IV, which typically includes work experience or a traineeship
  • Diploma
  • Advanced Diploma or equivalent, which can only be completed after an undergraduate qualification

How to study:

If you’re a New Zealand citizen, pretty much all study options are open to you. That means that, provided you meet the entry requirements of the courses, you can study in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, or beyond! 

International students from the United Kingdom, Australia and beyond should check with CRICOS for important information about IELTS and student visa requirements.

Many registered training organisations (RTO’s) offer full-time and part-time study options, as well as in-person and online student support. With a range of schools all over New Zealand, students can choose the school that most suits their needs, whether that be business school, TAFE or a small local organisation that offers language courses.

For more information about what to expect in your first year, tuition fees, main navigation help and more enquire about a specific course above! Read here for more information about how to use upskilling for a career change.
