This course is designed to provide support for students who may experience difficulty with academic subjects at NCEA level.
The emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition, on negotiation between students and tutors, and on rewarding achievement.
The course is based around key competencies of the national curriculum and enables students to have an increased sense of ownership and control of their own learning to raise levels of motivation, achievement and self-esteem.
Students manage themselves, set targets, solve problems and work with others. Students also gain skills and qualification to prepare for employment.
