Praxis offers courses in Youth and Community work. The courses are recognised by NZQA, and are approved for student loans and allowance funding, through a direct relationship with TEC.
You can enter into the Praxis course through two streams.
All Praxis courses:
- Include a mix of learning in a classroom setting (at block courses and weekly group work) and practical work with a church or community organisation in your community.
- Are available as a ‘stand alone program’ and as the training component for internships which are offered by various partner groups.
Choosing the right course:
-
Praxis runs the first year of the National Diploma and the Level four Certificate concurrently.
-
Both first year Diploma students and Certificate students will attend many of the same lectures and have the same expectations regarding completion of the course.
-
However each will have different workbooks and will be assessed at the level of the course they have opted for.
-
If you are unsure which course is right for you contact a local praxis coordinator and we will guide you through the options.
Note: Unit Standard 468 (included in the Certificate) is assessed by a Skills Active registered assessor.
