Central Otago REAP aims to offer a full range of relevant
and user-friendly computer courses. The courses are
progressive - from the 4-week Absolute Beginners course,
on to the 6-week courses, through to the extensive Focus-On
Series. Each course is designed for students to work
at their own pace, with a maximum class size of 7 providing
the opportunity for more one-to-one tuition and guidance.
Evaluations at the completion of each course are followed
up, with courses being regularly adapted to meet changing
needs and to keep up with technology.
Central Otago REAP is an NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications
Authority) accredited provider. This allows us to offer
unit standards, or assessments, as part of a number
of our computer courses. Students who successfully complete
the unit standard attached to their course gain NZQA
credits, and these credits can lead towards a National
Certificate qualification.
For more information about any of the courses, please
contact CO REAP. We can discuss your requirements with
you, and send you out or e-mail more details about the
course, or courses you are interested in.
