The certificate is a one-trimester (three month) programme that prepares students for successful study at Victoria University.

Designed for New Zealand citizens or permanent residents, the programme specifically caters for

  • those who have normally left school at least one year prior to applying, and

  • those preparing for university study after a break of several years.

The certificate is offered in all three trimesters, commencing in February, July and November each year.
