Intensive Literacy and Numeracy Course

Kōkiri is offering an Intensive Literacy and Numeracy course for adults starting July 20. This is a basic level 1/2 course specifically tailored to the individual learners needs and goals. Classes are small, max 8 people and the tutor is a well experienced lecturer with a specialist background in literacy and numeracy.

This class runs across 3 mornings a week, from 9am to 12pm and is free. This is the perfect programme for someone who needs to build their confidence in literacy and numeracy or who has been actively avoiding reading, writing or maths for a number of years and knows their life would be better if they enhanced those skills.

To enrol, please call the Kōkiri Training centre on 03 455 5725.

We are also offering the level 3 certificate in Whanau Ora and the level 3 certificate in Whakamahi Whenua - Mahika Kai which has a strong horticulture and bush skill focus. To learn more about these courses visit our website, the Otago Polytechnic Website or give us a call. Whanau Ora is free and we are waiting for confirmation that Whakamahi Whenua will also be free.
