Yes if you are NZ citizen or permanent resident. All of our computer courses have been approved and accredited by the NZQA and the TEC which means that all students are able to apply for a student loan (and allowance) from Studylink. For more information, please go to http://www.studylink.govt.nz/

Each of our computer engineering diplomas are split into 4 terms. Student can start at any one of the four terms. For instance, a student that starts in term 1 will complete the course in term 4. A student that starts the course in term 3 will complete the course in term two (the following year). This is an opportunity for student to start their studies at Techtorium at any point in the year.

Overall, computer engineering students  must complete 4 terms (1 year) to achieve each of the individual diplomas which equates to 120 credits.

Alternatively, the Techtorium Computer Programming Diploma (NZ Diploma in Software Development) is split into 4 Semesters (equivalent to 8 Terms). This is a 2 years diploma course and consist of 240 Credits.

So…

1. All Computer Engineering Diplomas are 1 year.
   Computer Programming Diploma is 2 years long.
2. You can start in any one of the four terms of the Diploma for Computer Engineering. We have only 2 intakes a year for Computer Programming.
3. You will need to complete all four terms (Computer Engineering) or all four Semesters (Computer Programming) to achieve the qualification

There are a number of ways that Techtorium differ from University.

Practical – We’re not going to ask our graduates to write an essay on TCP/IP or the implications of hard-drive maintenance, we’re going to teach you to do it. Our courses are designed to give you the right skills to gain employment as an entry-level engineer or software developer. That’s why so many companies rely on Techtorium to provide them with the best entry-level graduates that have the willingness and motivation to work their way up the career ladder.

Vocational – We have team dedicated to helping our graduates gain employment. Through the Employment Pathways initiative, we’ve designed a recipe for getting jobs.

Focus – We know information technology, and focus on information technology. Its what we are the best at, so we don’t dilute any of our courses offerings with anything BUT information technology. Hardware/Networking/Software/Security – that’s what matters to us.

Teaching style – Its all about innovative learning. Don’t expect to sit in a lecture with 200 other students listening to a lecturer (attempting to take notes). Class sizes are smaller and channeled towards individual learning. Our classes replicate that of a modern business environment.

Industry relationships – We’re a Microsoft Academy, CompTIA Academy.

Exit points – Students do not need to dedicate to 3 years of full-time study; rather, each of our Diploma courses have an exit point (should you want to get straight into work)

• NCEA L1 & 2 English & Maths
• Digital Technologies
• Passion and interest for Technology and Computers

If you like numbers, are focused and enjoy problem solving, we suggest Computer Programming!

If you are ‘hands on’ and like working with people, we suggest Computer Engineering!
