Please note spaces for the New Zealand Certificate in Skills for Living and Working are limited.
Our supported learning programmes are ideal for adults and mature school leavers with learning difficulties or disability. Our passionate and caring supported learning team will help you meet your goals and aspirations so you can shift into further education or paid employment in an area that interests you.
You’ll work on setting goals for the future, and develop important social, communication, computer, numeracy, and literacy skills. Plus, you'll learn more about New Zealand's support services and health and welfare issues.
All this will build your confidence, self-awareness and self-esteem so you can work, live, and travel independently.
Our programmes are fees-free to all New Zealand citizens and permanent residents. You may also be eligible for the Training Incentive Allowance (TIA) through Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) to cover the cost of travel, field trips, and stationary.
