Step 1. Application

All full-time programmes require an application. We take applications right up until the programme commences, although we'll give priority to applications received by the date stated in the programme brochure.

Many part-time programmes allow you to enrol direct. Check your programme brochure if you're unsure.

If you need an application form and haven't already got one, phone us straight away and we'll pop one in the post. Alternatively, you can collect one from our Information Centre or fill out the online application at the link below.

Step 2. Informal Meeting

You may be invited to attend an information meeting with the programe tutor/staff to view the facilities and discuss the programme in more detail. You are welcome to bring family or whanau support.

After a successful information meeting we'll send you a letter of acceptance offering you a place on the programme. Places are limited on most programmes and. Once limits are reached we run a waiting list.

Step 3. Enrolment

Along with your acceptance letter we'll send you an enrolment pack. If you're enrolling on a part-time programme that allows direct enrolment, just ask at our Information Centre for an enrolment form.
