Course overview

This micro-credential is made up of three stand-alone 20 hr courses/modules. Modules can be completed in-person or online, and you have the flexibility to choose the length of time you take between the 3 modules.

You will be introduced to the Māori language with a focus on office communication and gain an understanding of Māori cultural concepts and protocols as they relate to the workplace. You will gain a richer knowledge of tikanga Māori and gain confidence to extend your sentence structures, vocabulary, and phrases to integrate into every day and work life, in both formal and informal settings.  

This micro-credential is partially funded. To meet the requirements for funding participants must be a NZ citizen or permanent resident.
