NCEA 3

Early Childhood Education and Care

This one-year course not only allows an opportunity to get ahead without the costs but incorporates gaining University Entrance and a New Zealand Certificate in ECE Level 3. This course is unique in this aspect. Part-time courses are also offered for students with children, work or other commitments. Experience a supervised practicum one day a week at two selected early childhood centres putting theory into practice. Hagley offers a very low- cost opportunity to gain these qualifications where we believe the cost should not become a barrier to your education.
