Unified Programme 2024

Over the last eighteen months our staff have been working collaboratively with Te Pūkenga and staff from the other polytechnics who offer NZ2456 NZC in Business (Small Business) (Level 4), to prepare to move to a unified programme.

As a result of this work, all institutions in the network of Te Pūkenga subsidiaries, will be progressively closing current courses as we prepare to offer new courses being developed for the unified programme.

 If you are currently enrolled in NZ2456 NZC in Business (Small Business) (Level 4) we will communicate transition arrangements prior to the new version opening.

This programme is currently offered fee free. To see if you're eligible please visit the Fee Free offer tab.
