Kia Māori te titiro ki te ao

Our qualifications are aimed at developing and nurturing our people's sense of identity as Māori while giving our people the necessary knowledge and skills of a particular industry, advantaging you in the Aotearoa workforce and beyond. See through a Māori world view as you learn to integrate Māori knowledge into all aspects of your life.


All our qualifications are embedded with mātauranga Māori and most of our qualifications offered at diploma level and above include compulsory iwi and hapū and te reo Māori studies. These further enhance the knowing you are gaining through your specialised studies and allow you to develop manuscripts for your whānau while increasing your capability and confidence in te reo Māori.


All our Poupou (certificates) are offered FREE to NZ citizens and permanent residents and are a great introduction to Te Wānanga o Raukawa and our learning platforms.
