NZQA Courses
The Seabrook McKenzie Centre offers two NZQA-accredited courses to support (Level 4) and teach (Level 5) individuals with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD).
Benefits of studying with us:
Our courses are delivered at our Centre. You will be face to face with a qualified lecturer who is experienced in the teaching and tutoring of students with a specific learning disability. The small group means you have a chance to learn from each other and have your individual situation addressed by the lecturer. The dates are all weekend or school holiday dates and will allow you to do the course without needing time off from your teaching or teacher aide job. You can also do the course if you are not presently working in a school. The Level 5 course qualifies you, if you wish, to be part of our bank of qualified, registered, self-employed tutors and receive referrals from us for prospective students.

Course Dates
NZQA Course Dates 2022: UPDATE
The course for 2022 is deferred. We are taking time out to thoroughly revitalise the course and will return in 2023.
Courses are typically all-day sessions to maximise the time for those who travel from out of town. For the same reason, dates are organised for school holidays and weekends beginning in the school holiday at the end of Term One.
Please email courses@seabrookmckenzie.net if you would like further information.
