• Yes! If you’re not a recent school leaver, and you’ve done less than half a year of education or training (including tertiary study in any other country)
• Yes! If you want to study our NZQA Certificate in Apiculture (Bee Keeping) because this course is now fully funded under the Governments “Targeted training and Apprenticeship fund“
