If helping young people thrive is a passion, then our youth development programme will be perfect to study. Gain on-the-job work experience while studying that'll help shape the future of Aotearoa. Our youth development is accredited by Korowai Tupu.
Start your career in youth work by studying the New Zealand Diploma in Youth Work. Learn the skills that will help the young people in our community to grow to be the best version of themselves.
Complete a degree with your experience recognised. Do you have the NZ Diploma in Youth Work (Level 6), industry registration (Korowai Tupu) and/or five+ years in a youth worker position? If any of these apply to you, you may be eligible to have your learning recognised for two years of the Bachelor of Youth Development.

Use the knowledge and skills you already have to fast-track your qualification with minimum cost. Workplace-learning, volunteering, professional development, other provider qualifications and online courses or units can be recognised as prior learning and put towards your future diploma or degree.
