Elementary Te Reo Maori - Te Kaupae 3
Gain beginner Te Reo skills for everyday life and work.
This Level 3 programme is ideal for increasing your understanding of Te Reo for your career and personal development.
Designed for fast progress, our delivery model gives you opportunities to learn in weekly class sessions and to maintain your progress, at times that suit you, with online resources.
You'll also have applied, authentic and supported learning opportunities with live-in wānanga (language workshops) held at our fully equipped whare. These live-in wānanga provide supported, immersive experiences that normalise language use and give you the opportunity to fulfil a range of roles in various culturally rich contexts.
They also help bring you into a language learning community that will further develop your opportunities to use the language outside of the classroom. As a result you'll be able to use the language you learn to enrich everyday life, add value to your workplace, bring Te Reo into your home, or enhance your career opportunities.
Full time: 19 weeks. Part-time: one year.
