New Zealand Certificate in Adult and Tertiary Teaching Level 4, (NZCATT)

The QED Professional Development programme is modular, with modules 1-3 making up the Level 4 certificate, (modules 4-8 the Level 5 certificate). Both certificates include Unit Standards-based assessments that relate to quality teaching and learning. Please note that while participation in Module 3 is required, achieving the unit standards is not necessary to be awarded the NZCATT level 4. However, many providers and ITOs require them for consent to assess. We therefore strongly recommend completing the assessments.

Successful completion of modules 1 to 3 and the accompanying assignments results in the award of the New Zealand Certificate in Adult and Tertiary Teaching level 4.
