You can enter into the Praxis course through two streams.

• A level 4 (1 year) Certificate in Youth Work
• A level 6 (2 year) Diploma in Youth and Community Studies

All Praxis courses:

• Include a mix of learning in a classroom setting (at block courses and weekly group work) and practical work with a church or community organisation in your community.
• Are available as a ‘stand alone program’ and as the training component for internships which are offered by various partner groups. Tipu Ake

Tipu Ake

• Incorporates the main elements of both Praxis courses as well as content specific to working with youth in a Maori context.
• If you choose to complete the courses as a part of Tipu Ake you will complete the same qualifications, but some of the unit standards will be slightly different and have the focus of working in a Maori context, including basic tikanga and Maori spirituality within a Christian context.

Choosing the right course:

• We run the first year of the National Diploma and the Level four Certificate concurrently.
• Both first year Diploma students and Certificate students will attend many of the same lectures and have the same expectations regarding completion of the course.
• However each will have different workbooks and will be assessed at the level of the course they have opted for.
• If you are unsure which course is right for you contact a local praxis coordinator and we will guide you through the options.
