Micro-Credentials

This process is for Micro-Credential enrolments only. For other short courses (less than 12 weeks), view this page.

Micro Credentials are short programmes that are approved and accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).

New Zealand Students (New Zealand Citizens, New Zealand Resident Class visa holders & Australian Citizens) are eligible to receive a government subsidy for the course fees (already included in the advertised price) and international students must pay the international student course price. 

Successful candidates will receive an NZQA certificate and the micro credentials will be registered on the NZQA record of learning register.

Please note that NZQA Micro-Credentials are not Unit Standards and completing a Micro-Credential will not accumulate towards a learner's High School NZQA credits.
