How are the qualifications achieved?

Enrolment in an online programme of learning

Individuals or groups of learners can enrol in our online modular programme. The course involves self-directed learning at the learner’s own pace over a six-month duration. Assessment is carried out at the end of each module, providing the learner with a sense of progression as you work through the modules to completion.

 

Successful completion leads to the award of the New Zealand Certificate in Intelligence (Introduction) (Level 3).

 

Learner support is provided by the organisation enrolling the learner, along with Ignite’s learner resources and subject matter experts.

 

Alignment

Ignite Colleges can evaluate and employer’s in-house training and workplace practices to see if what you already do meets the requirements of a qualification. If they don’t quite measure up, we can work with you to fill those gaps and achieve the qualification.

 

Note that alignments are only suitable for organisations wishing to offer this to large groups of individuals and where the intention is to provide this qualification over a sustained period of time.
