Micro-credential 803 - Responding to Crisis

Applicants must submit two references supporting their suitability for the programmes.
* A short essay application form will evaluate applicants' academic writing level.
* As an alternative to holding a level 7 (or international equivalent) degree qualification, applicants must
have been employed in a specifical professional context for at least two years. As part of the application
paperwork, this will need to be confirmed by their CV and a letter of support from a manager at their place
of work (see table below)
* All new students will have the option to attend the BTI postgraduate 'Get Set' three-day intensive
programme for new and back-to -study students designed and run by experienced colleagues in the
Academic Support team. For those applicants whose written application is assessed as not meeting our
academic writing standards, this course will be mandatory and must be successfully completed before
they will be offered a place on one of the micro credentials. International students will be required to
submit evidence of an appropriate level of English competency.

What can I expect out of this qualification?

The purpose of the BTI micro-credential 'Responding to Crisis', is to prepare graduates to better understand and have the skills to work in a trauma-responsive way within their professional or organisational setting. The aim is to support the development of competent, reflexive practitioners who can appropriately respond to crisis in their work environment. Students will be guided in ways to operate in a trauma-responsive way to crisis situations within a faith-based contextual framework. This micro-credential honours ethical principles central to well-being and flourishing, and as a programme based in Aotearoa New Zealand, the programme upholds the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, respecting and valuing the wisdom of all cultures as expressions of humanity in all its diversity and beauty.
