If you’re really keen to study, but you’re not quite ready for a diploma or a degree, why not enrol in our level 4 certificate programme?

The Certificate in Study & Career Preparation (CertPrep)*, offered at our Manukau campuses, assists students with the development of key skills, capabilities, knowledge and attributes needed to succeed in tertiary education including degree level. The programme provides a foundation for students who want to continue into Laidlaw programmes in Theology, Teaching or Counselling through a mixture of academic skills development and reflection on Christian faith and life.

*CertPrep will not be offered in 2023

Upon completion graduates will be able to:

• Locate, select and analyse relevant information from a variety of sources and apply to context-relevant tasks and problems.
• Construct a reasoned and researched argument, communicated using a range of appropriate media.
• Work independently and collaboratively on context-relevant academic tasks and problems.
• Develop and critique a study and career plan that identifies specific long-term career goals.

Upon the successful completion of the programme students may also apply for entry into more advanced programmes in Theology, Teacher Education or Counselling.
