This must be evidenced by a Curriculum Vitae that provides information about the nature of work undertaken by the applicant and level of responsibility and accountability.

Access to healthcare facilities/organisations for compulsory workplace experience: The geographical range for acceptance of enrolment for this programme is the Greater Auckland and Waikato regions to ensure that NZSE can manage a suitable work placement of 200 hours which is a compulsory requirement for this programme. Domestic applicants may already be working in a suitable healthcare facility within this area. The suitability of this workplace will be confirmed by the NZSE Workplace Tutor. For those domestic and international applicants not currently working at a healthcare facility a suitable workplace will be arranged by the NZSE Workplace Tutor within the first semester of enrolment. Criminal Record Check: Healthcare workers work with people in vulnerable situations and this requires a high level of integrity and trust. New Zealand School of Education will carry out a criminal record check on prospective students. Student entry will be provisional until these checks have been completed.
