About the School of Computing, Technology and Communications

At CTC we can help you further your skills and knowledge in any, or several, of those areas combined and we have a team of great tutors keen to help you learn.

If you are an entry level learner check out our National Certificate in Computing Level 2 which is free to study and teaches you how to drive a computer then enrol on the International Computer Drivers’ Licence, which is also free. You can work your way up through our qualifications, or enter at any stage and study all the way up to a degree in computing.

If art is your thing we can teach you all the disciplines from drawing to painting, to ceramics, to carving/whaikaro. Artists with some experience should consider our level seven diploma which leads onto a Masters degree at an art college or university.

For those of you who like the written word we have two exellent choices. The Waiariki Diploma in Journalism is a training ground for some of New Zealand’s top journalists, most of them Māori. This programme can take you into print radio or TV.

Those with a more creative bent can do a certificate in creative writing and try a number of genre—short stories, poetry, editing, writing with a Māori voice, and exploring New Zealand's top Māori writers. The tutors are all well published authors.
