Adult Education
I have just relocated to Waipuk from Wellington and am happy that we were able to secure places for Hawke's Bay under our funding. I mainly cover CHB but can travel to Napier and surrounding area.
We offer FREE training (government funded, to help people get qualifications) The concept is to increase the literacy and numeracy of New Zealanders (and permanent residents) and also, if needed, help them gain qualifications that perhaps feels out of reach. Those with lower literacy needs gain more confidence and increase their ability. It is to help those in work (full time / part time and even casual workers) gain qualifications and increase their literacy and numeracy.
Instead of just teaching literacy and numeracy, I build it into REAL courses, that help in everyday workplaces - like Forklift courses, First Aid, Customer Service, Computing, finishing NCEA, Writing courses and general Health and Safety. All through literacy training.
If you're interested I'm happy to meet and explain everything.
There is eligibility criteria such as you need to be in paid employment, you need to be a NZ citizen or permanent resident, not be studying full time and have limited qualifications already (nothing above diploma - level 4)
There is no age limit. I am patience and relaxed and believe learning shouldn't be stressful. Generally we go into companies and train a number of people at a time, but happy to work with smaller numbers or one on ones.
Let me know if you would like anymore information,
Cheers
Jules
