Strategic Purpose Statement |
The National Certificate in Maori (Te Ngutu Awa) (Level 4) [Ref: 1006] is a progression from the ''gateway'' qualification National Certificate in Maori (Te Waharoa) (Level 2) with optional strands in Reo Maori, Maori Performing Arts, Whakairo, Nga Mahi a Te Whare Pora, Reo Maori Media, Te Whakamahi Whenua, and Marae Catering [Ref: 0878]. From a Maori perspective, this qualification pathway represents the journey from the ''gateway'' towards the whare tipuna of the marae. Te Ngutu Awa is designed to provide a Matauranga Maori focus for learners, and to recognise the general achievement of learners of all ages. This qualification is intended to be accessible to the Secondary and Tertiary sectors.
Te Ngutu Awa is designed to appeal to Maori with a view to increasing pathways to higher levels of education and training, to enable access to the skills required for employment, and to attest to the ability to participate in, and benefit from, further study thereby promoting lifelong learning. Te Ngutu Awa has been structured to include optional strands that could provide explicit pathways to specialised qualifications at higher levels in Field Maori: . The Reo Maori Optional Strand may lead into the National Certificate in Reo Maori (Level 4) [Ref: 0426], or the National Diploma in Reo Maori (Level 5) [Ref: 1196]. . The Maori Performing Arts Optional Strand may lead into the National Certificate in Maori Performing Arts (Performance)(Level 4) [Ref: 0701]. . The Whakairo Optional Strand may lead into the National Certificate in Whakairo (Tuturu) (Level 4) [Ref: 0521] or the National Diploma in Whakairo (Level 5) [Ref: 0745]. . The Nga Mahi a te Whare Pora Optional Strand may lead into the National Certificate in Nga Mahi a te Whare Pora (Pae Tuarua) (Level 4) [Ref: 0706], or the National Diploma in Nga Mahi a te Whare Pora (Pae Tuatoru) (Level 6) [Ref: 0707]. . The Hauora Optional Strand may lead into the National Certificate in Hauora (Maori Health) (Level 4)[Ref: 0710], or the National Diploma in Hauora (Maori Health) (Level 5) [Ref: 0711]. . The Maori Business and Management Optional Strand may lead into the National Certificate in Maori Business and Management [Ref: 0365], or the National Diploma in Maori Business and Management with an optional strand in Iwi Management [Ref: 0366]. . The Tourism Maori Optional Strand may lead into the National Certificate in Tourism Maori (Level 4) [Ref: 1077], or the National Diploma in Tourism Maori (Level 5) [Ref: 1096]. The general requirements of this level 4 qualification have deliberately been left non-prescriptive to enable providers with different expertise, training opportunities, and in different locations to offer a package that is relevant and meaningful for the students in their area. Te Ngutu Awa may also offer a pathway into further achievement in other qualifications as credits gained from the award of this qualification may also be used to count towards other qualifications on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. People awarded a level 4 qualification have shown that they can work independently and with responsibility for quality. They have the ability to analyse and interpret information and problem solve; and can apply a range of practical and academic skills. The qualification also provides a more advanced foundation for further study and knowledge. |
