New Zealand Tertiary College launches new qualifications

New Zealand Tertiary College (NZTC) will add to its portfolio of qualifications in 2016 with the launch of a six month Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Leadership and Management) and an 18 month Master of Early Childhood Education.

After consultation with over 330 early childhood professionals throughout New Zealand and beyond, NZTC identified the need for a postgraduate certificate that equips learners with management, mentoring and leadership skills specific to early childhood education; and a master’s degree studied through online coursework featuring topics focused on practical outcomes for students to implement in early childhood contexts.

The new qualifications have been widely welcomed by the early childhood sector as new coursework options to add to the current postgraduate provision for the profession, while assisting with pathways to further study research and enhance career progression. NZTC’s unique delivery of qualifications has been praised for providing further opportunities for professionals to balance their work and study commitments.

“NZTC continues to assess the needs of the early childhood sector and the best ways to support these. We are excited to offer a new Master of Early Childhood Education by coursework and Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Leadership and Management) in support of our profession. We look forward to meeting with students in the coming months to discuss these new options,” commented NZTC Chief Executive Selena Fox.

NZTC will begin delivering these qualifications in February 2016. For more information about these exciting new postgraduate study options, please visitwww.nztertiarycollege.ac.nz or call (09) 520 4000 / (03) 366 8000.
