About this programme
With a partnering of Iwi, Hospitality Industry leaders and NorthTec, an exciting new entry level programme is being launched this year. This is a level 3 course which will start in April and finish in September with tauira (course learners) achieving a New Zealand Certificate in Manaaki Marae.
The uniqueness of this course is that it will be based on a Ngātiwai Marae with tikanga, te reo and Ngātiwaitanga woven throughout the learning programme. Working in the wharenui and Marae catering will also be part of the programme and real events will include manaaki marae students where appropriate.
The other exciting component is that the course participants will spend a great deal of time in the Quality Hotel Oceans Tutukākā, gaining real experience and skills in a working hotel and restaurant with expert tuition from working professionals.
