Programme unification

Te Pūkenga network partners (Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics) have been working to unify programmes of study for each of the following qualifications:   

• 2221 New Zealand Diploma in Primary Industry Business Management (Level 5) 

• 2223 New Zealand Certificate in Apiculture (Level 3) 
• 2224 New Zealand Certificate in Apiculture (Level 4) 
• 2225 New Zealand Certificate in Apiculture – Queen Bee Rearing (Level 4) 
• 2550 New Zealand Certificate in Applied Science (Level 3) 
• 2552 New Zealand Diploma in Applied Science (Level 5) 

• 2553 New Zealand Diploma in Applied Science (Level 6) 

The unified programmes of study will be delivered by Te Pūkenga Institutes of Technology or Polytechnics that currently offer these qualifications from Semester 2, 2023, subject to approval and accreditation.     

We want to ensure the unified programmes of study will work for all our current and future ākonga, partners and communities. Therefore, during this consultation phase, we are inviting you to provide feedback on the draft programme documentation linked below.  

Programme consultation documentation and feedback 

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the recent consultation process for the unified programmes.
