Te Rou – Workplace Te Reo Māori
Build your te reo Māori with a micro-credential designed for the workplace.

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.
