These competencies will be partly met via the Treaty of Waitangi workshops and the Noho Marae components of the TECP350 course.

Therefore in order to complete the components of the TECP350 course you need to have participated in and attended a Noho Marae and Treaty of Waitangi Workshop.
This is a web-supported course. Many of the course materials, videos of lectures, tasks and communications are provided via the course Learn site.

The course lecturer concerned must be contacted by email a minimum of two days before the due date, and the application must be supported by relevant evidence (e.g. medical certificate, letter from counsellor). Extensions will not be granted because of pressure of university study, e.g. several pieces of work being due around the same time.
