Our Bicultural Competency programme is intended for individuals who are working in any public or private entity that states it is a responsive Treaty partner. We offer a detailed certificate, which includes four core courses, and can be completed part-time over a one year period.

During your studies, you will identify te reo words and phrases that are both relevant and applicable to your workplace context. Likewise, the tikanga content will rely on you showing an understanding and an active application of tikanga concepts and practices as they relate to particular workplace and industry contexts.
