It is expected that students should complete one standard per term if they follow a work-plan and complete assigned homework as required. We can not guarantee student results, it is up to the student to acheive their results. Students requiring more than one standard should be prepared to attend more than one term.

On successful completion of the course, please allow for 10-15 working day before your results are processed.

You will need a minimum of 10 literacy credits and 10 numeracy credits to achieve each level of NCEA. You only need to gain these credits once. This means that once you have gained the credits, you have already met the literacy and numeracy requirements for NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3.
