These four assessed short courses meet the requirements for the National Certificate in Business Administration, Level 4 (60 credits).  The purpose of this qualification is to meet individual skill needs that reflect the diverse roles and positions required to meet business administration and information technology needs of the business community at an advanced level.  Minimum credits specified for interpersonal communications and writing recognise the need for competencies that underpin all business administration roles.

There are four assessed short courses (note: you do not need to enrol in all 4 courses): 

• The first course Pastoral care in international education is underway and no more enrolments will be taken.
• Services for international education (accepting enrolments now for February 2008)
• Meeting change and challenges in international education
• Marketing international education

Each course involves: 

• 2 days 8.30-5.30 of face-to-face teaching in Auckland or Wellington
• 12 weeks of self-directed study, made up of readings, reflection, learning activities, assessments and discussions
• Self-directed study materials posted to students at the start of each course.
• Each week will involve up to 11 hours of study, however as students are fully engaged in working in the sector, there will be a good deal of overlap between the focus of study and their day-to-day work

The first two-day block course (Auckland or Wellington) will be scheduled over the first weeks of the course. If students are out of the country during block teaching there will be an equivalent CD-Rom available as an alternative, with support available if needed. 

Where there are places available, applications will be accepted up until the class begins. However, as places are often limited, we recommend that you apply early.
