Educational Partnership Study Awards (EPSA)
We understand the value of having our students placed in the right setting as part of their initial teacher or counsellor education programmes. Educational Partnership Study Awards are offered to these education settings.
We offer all education settings the equivalent of a 15 point paper for each student teacher or student counsellor that they support. Please discuss the use of these points with your leadership team or contact Te Kura Toi Tangata.

Professional Learning and Development (PLD)
We provide high quality, professional and flexible learning opportunities through our two PLD providers, Poutama Pounamu and Te Whai Toi Tangata.
Our facilitators are able to deliver both standard and bespoke workshops across Aotearoa New Zealand, covering a variety of topics in a format that works for your education setting.
Our PLD workshops provide paper points that can be credited towards postgraduate study at a later date.
