How to gain advanced computing skills
- for FREE!
Would you like to be in a position to take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way? To build a career that, until now, you have only dreamed about - to move up the corporate ladder faster than your peers, gaining praise and respect along the way - to follow your desire for further study with Level 4 and 5 qualifications in subjects such as Business Administration?
In short, to be a success.
If you are serious about your future or that of your business you need to be skilled and confident with the technology that forms a necessary part of your life. Without computer skills that rival those of the people around you, you stand the chance of always being one step behind... Maybe this isn't a problem for you, but if it is, then we can help.
The Wintec Certificate in Information Communication Technology (CICT3) is a Level 3 advanced computing programme. Online delivery and government funding makes this programme a must for ANY New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.
Wouldn't it be a mistake not to invest in your own knowledge?
Who is the CICT3 open to?
Any New Zealand citizen or permanent resident (aged 16 or over) living in the Waikato can enrol in this advanced computing programme. There is no requirement for a prior qualification - although the Wintec Certificate in Computer Applications Level 2 is an added bonus! If you can demonstrate intermediate computer skills and have the desire to succeed in life then you should be talking to us now
Online Learning - The key to your success
The CICT3 offers a thorough and rewarding learning experience. Using the internet as a virtual classroom we are able to totally immerse you in the skills you are looking to acquire.
The student is always the focus - teaching occurs in a way that suits your learning style and life style!
- You can learn at any time from anywhere; as a parent you can attend to your children's needs and learn in quiet time, as a full time employee you can learn after work or at lunchtime, as an adult learner you can fit your learning around scheduled classes and study time
- You can access your programme material 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; learning occurs on demand - when you have the time and focus
- Learning is self-paced giving you the chance to speed up or slow down as you need
