Take the right step 

Choose a starting point that suits you, 

and progress to higher levels to 

reach your goals. 

Degrees 

Graduate 

Certificates 

& Diplomas 

Foundation 

Programmes 

Pre-employment or entrylevel 

programmes for people 

returning to study or needing 

introductory study for their 

chosen field. 

Certificates 

Certificates provide a broad 

introduction to a range of skills 

and knowledge in a particular 

subject area. 

Certificates at levels 2 to 4 are 

often needed for entry into trades 

and service employment. 

Certificates can also provide direct 

entry into diplomas and degrees. 

Diplomas 

Diplomas are often required 

for entry to advanced trade, 

technical and professional 

occupations. 

Diplomas may provide 

direct entry into a degree 

qualification and, in many 

cases, courses from the 

diploma may be credited 

toward degree qualifications. 

Degree qualifications are 

generally required for entry 

or advancement in 

professions. 

They also provide further 

opportunities for study at 

masters or doctoral level. 

A degree usually requires 

a minimum of three years’ 

full-time study (or the parttime 

equivalent). 

Specialised 

programmes at level 

7 for people who 

already have degrees 

or substantial work 

experience in their field. 

8 8 | weltec.ac.nz

In many cases, study at a lower level in a subject will 

count towards gaining a higher-level qualification. 

Well-recognised 

qualifications 

WelTec certificates, diplomas, degrees 

and graduate diplomas are NZQAaccredited 

and, with City and Guilds 

and other international qualifications 

on offer, your qualification will be well 

recognised – both here and overseas. 

Take your WelTec 

qualification even 

further 

We have a number of special 

agreements with other tertiary providers 

who recognise WelTec qualifications as 

entry criteria or as partial completion 

towards their qualifications. 

Credit for what you 

already know 

Find out about our recognition of prior 

learning and recognition of current 

competence processes. You could 

save yourself extra work and time, if you 

already have some relevant skills. 

Transfer from 

somewhere else 

We may also be able to give you credit 

at WelTec for study you have done at 

another tertiary institution. 

Scholarships 

WelTec offers a wide variety of 

scholarship opportunities and we 

encourage you to apply for the 

scholarships on offer. 

You will need to meet certain criteria to 

be eligible but that doesn’t necessarily 

mean you need to have had previous 

academic or school successes. 

If you are motivated and passionate 

about what you plan to study and you 

can show a willingness to succeed, 

you should consider applying. 

Scholarship details are regularly 

updated. Visit our website to find out 

more. www.weltec.ac.nz

At WelTec you will find a very supportive learning environment

your studies. WelTec has a long-standing working relationship 

with the local iwi, Te Atiawa through Te Runanganui o Taranaki 

Whanui Ki Te Upoko o Te Ika A Maui. The Runanga is very

Academy to assist young Maori to achieve their tertiary study 

goals. The programme is based at Te Whare Awhina at 

WelTec’s Petone campus and staff travel to the Wellington 

city and regional campuses providing hands-on mentoring to 

students. 

Te Whare Awhina operates on the principles of Manaakitanga

Younger learners 

We offer great programmes 

designed for students who are 

still at secondary school, or 

who have just left. 

The fees for these programmes are covered 

by the government’s Youth Guarantee 

Scheme so there is no cost to you. 

Entry to these programmes is limited so 

apply today to secure your spot. 

Youth Guarantee Scheme 

If you’re 16-17 years old, and ready to move beyond 

school, this is a great opportunity to study and 

gain practical skills. Youth Guarantee is an exciting 

initiative which offers you the chance to study feefree 

for one year in a range of WelTec programmes. 

Focus your studies on your area of interest, and on 

successful completion you’ll be equipped to go onto 

further study or enter the workforce. 

Is Youth Guarantee for me? 

This programme is designed for students who: 

• are 16-17 years old at the time of commencing 

studies, or who are 15 years old and have an 

early exemption at the time of commencing 

studies 

• want to enrol for full-time study for a year 

• feel that the secondary school environment is 

not for them 

• are new to tertiary study 

• are New Zealand citizens or residents. 

16 


16

How does the 

programme work? 

As a Youth Guarantee student, you will 

be a full-time student attending our 

mainstream WelTec courses and will have 

access to all the WelTec services and 

support that our students enjoy. The only 

difference is that your fees are paid by a 

government-financed Youth Guarantee 

grant. 

To qualify for the Youth Guarantee scheme, 

you need to study selected level 2 or 3 

courses for a full year. This can be either 

one full-year, or two half-year programmes. 

Because the programmes are free, you 

are not eligible for Student Loans including 

loans for course-related costs. This may 

mean there are certain expenses that you 

will need to meet. You may be eligible for 

student allowances and you should visit 

www.studylink.govt.nz for more 

information. 

WelTec is accepting applications for Youth 

Guarantee places in 2013 now. 

You can request an application pack by 

visiting any WelTec campus, by phoning 

a Student Advisor on 0800 935 832 or by 

emailing information@weltec.ac.nz 

Wellington Trades 

Academy 

Students enrolled in the academy study 

full-time and gain credits for both NCEA 

level 2 and a chosen area of the trades. 

You also have the opportunity to retain your 

links with your secondary school and the 

year’s timetable is based on secondary 

school terms and hours. The academy is 

a supportive tertiary learning environment 

which is specifically designed to provide a 

bridge from secondary studies. 

Read more about the academy on page 66. 

STAR 

(Secondary Tertiary 

Alignment Resource) 

If you’re still at school, you can attend 

WelTec part-time as part of the STAR 

programme. You’ll gain an introduction to 

a subject area of interest to you and see 

whether this is something that you might like 

to do as a full-time WelTec student. 

Scholarships 

WelTec offers a variety of scholarships which 

are specifically designed to provide support 

and assistance to younger learners. 

Information is updated on the WelTec 

website regularly so check there to find 

application information and closing dates, 

or you may phone a Student Advisor on

Fronde’s vision for 

graduate possibilities 

Ian Clarke, Fronde Chief Executive 

“We employ a lot of WelTec graduates who come 

through our intern programme and we notice they tend 

to have a real vocational interest in IT, as opposed to 

other graduates who may come out of general study and 

then decide to work in IT,” says Ian Clarke, Fronde Chief 

Executive. In Ian’s view, the advantage of the vocational 

approach is that WelTec graduates are work-ready to the 

point they can engage directly with clients. 

Fronde is one of the local companies represented on 

WelTec’s Information Technology Advisory Committee 

and provides the committee with advice on changes 

in the workplace and industry trends that need to be 

reflected in its qualifications. 

“Industry engagement is critical for institutions like 

WelTec and we’re very pleased to be part of the small 

employer group that gives advice and support on IT 

trends,” says Ian. 

“A key to attracting excellent graduates is being able 

to create and demonstrate a vision of what they can 

become, and our partnership with WelTec means Fronde 

is in a position to do exactly that and show what career 

possibilities are out there,” says Ian.

In studying interior design, you will gain many of 

the skills you need to participate with architects 

and others to create original responses to interior 

spaces. A wide range of projects are undertaken 

that explore the design of furniture, buildings and 

the interior environment. 

Cultural Design 

In studying Cultural Design, you will be 

introduced to design as expressed by 

both traditional (tuturu) and contemporary 

practitioners. Through the study of the past, 

and practise in the present, you will acquire 

an introduction to the role of designer for iwi, 

hapu and the community at large that wishes to 

learn and live within the spiritual values (wairua) 

provided by toi Maori. 

Projects in Cultural Design range across all the 

dimensions and utilise everything from pencils to 

film. Where possible, teamwork is undertaken to 

achieve commissioned projects for real clients. 

Students will develop an awareness of cultural 

and social responsibility, and are encouraged 

to integrate their own cultural art and designs to 

support a full and complete understanding of 

indigenous and international perspectives. 

CREATE YOUR OWN BCT 

One size does not always fit all. With Create 

Your Own BCT, you have the option to choose 

your own combination of electives in addition 

to the compulsory core papers (timetable and 

pre-requisite dependent). Learn interior design, 

visual arts and web, or try a combination of 

photography and cultural design – the choice is 

yours.
