This is the last in a suite of four whakairo qualifications designed to encourage the enhancement and maintain the integrity of whakairo. The National Diploma in Whakairo [Ref: 0746] is designed for people who have acquired the necessary knowledge, experience and skills in selecting, preparing and sculpting dimensional forms. The emphasis in this qualification is about sculpting in whakairo, and research.

The compulsory standards in this qualification focuses on the practical aspects of creating and producing whakairo and designing a research project for whakairo based on matauranga Maori theories, ethics and methodologies.

Elective one allows for the development of whakairo practices that are consistent with the lores of their own iwi or hapu or another iwi or hapu.

This is an advanced qualification that builds on the National Diploma in Whakairo (Level 5) [Ref: 0745] and may lead to higher education in related fields such as Maori studies, education, arts, crafts, and design as a whakairo practitioner.
