About the College

The ProgrammeWhat makes this sport programme different from others on offer?

1. To begin with it is an applied programme; that means you will be participating in sport and coaching activities, not just learning through theory. This means you will be well prepared to accept any of the many careers opened to you through this qualification.

2. The passion your tutors and support staff have for individual health and well being; nutrition and how it works, understanding your own body and gaining the fitness level that you want for yourself and your sport preference. Individual support will be available for your own sporting activity whether you are participating at an introductory level or an elite level. Individual profiling and fitness testing are part of the programme.

3. A strong emphasis is placed on coaching in the programme – a skill becoming less evident in New Zealand sport. Coaching activities are real.You will work with local school teams and groups to share your knowledge and skills, and practice the important elements of coaching with these teams and individuals.

4. There will be many challenges in this programme. Students will apply their knowledge to plan events, including the risk management procedures, equipment and supplies needed for one and two day outdoor excursions such as camping and tramping, climbing, beach activities and kayaking.

Student Testimonials

“I have always wanted to work in a sport related field, and decided to study full time at the College after attending part time during my last year at High School. The course has been an awesome experience. I particularly enjoyed the coaching, personal training and fitness aspects of the course. The tutors are great, and the course is really hands on and practical. As a representative rugby player, I also learned heaps about the skills, training and nutrition that are required to further a career in sport.”Scott Beckingsale

“I have always been interested in a sporting career and decided to do the course at Community College North Canterbury because I already knew and respected the tutor. It has been an awesome experience and the College provides a great environment in which to learn. Because there are small class sizes there is plenty of one on one time with the tutors, and heaps of help if you don’t quite understand something.”Ricki Jacobs

“I really, really enjoyed the course. I found it great that the numbers were smaller because it gave us more time with the tutor. I had heaps of support to ensure I reached my goals. We learned a broad range of skills but could also focus on our areas of interest. There were no worries with parking, or transport because of where the college is situated. I especially liked coaching the students at Sefton School.”Kymm Robinson

“The course was awesome and I wouldn’t be a personal trainer if I hadn’t done it. I hadn’t studied for a long time but enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at the College and the way everyone’s individual learning styles were taken into account. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone keen on a sport related career.”Hayley Cockburn

An exciting programme that leads to genuine career opportunities

Since completing the Certificate in Applied Sport, the above former students have all successfully established careers in the sports industry.

With the support of Community College North Canterbury and other organisations, Scott Beckingsale and Ricki Jacobs founded the Primary Schools Sports Coaching Programme where they delivered coaching in up to 16 sports in 36 primary schools in their region.

Kymm Robinson is now Assistant Manager at the McAlpines Mitre 10 MEGA Sports Centre in Rangiora, while Hayley Cockburn has worked as a personal trainer.

Our students come first. Classes are small (ten to fifteen students) and our staff are friendly, supportive and approachable, focused on individual success.

We support our students by providing internal support and maintaining relationships with external support agencies, eg local agencies and counselling services. This ensures that student welfare needs beyond the expertise of internal support staff may be treated without judgment and with urgency.

We are keen that students are well informed about their training and the College. The College values, rules, regulations, and procedures for complaints, assessment and appeals are published and openly displayed in areas freely available to students and other stakeholders.

We open doors for students to enter the workplace by encouraging and supporting our staff to interact within their industries and their wider communities, to liaise with employers to provide opportunities for student participation in work experiences and employment.

We are proud of these values that underpin our learning environment.

All programmes delivered by Community Colleges New Zealand (ComCol NZ) are kinaesthetic – that is they involve hands-on, practical training so you learn by doing. Our programmes are based on NZQA unit standards and will provide you with the skills and knowledge that you require so that you can best pursue your chosen career.

Community College students will be awarded the appropriate NZQA unit standards and national certificates, providing nationally recognised certification of the skills and standards achieved. If you need further information on the programme that you have chosen to study, or if you need assistance in selecting the programme that best suits you, please contact the Student Liaison Officer at your local Community College.

Fee InformationAll ComCol NZ Advanced Learning Programmes are subject to Tuition Fees payable by students. For details on fees payable for particular programmes refer to each programme brochure or contact your local Community College campus.

Tuition FeesThe Tuition Fees detailed in each programme are the total compulsory costs associated with the delivery of that programme. The‘Tuition Fee’ covers all tuition, workbooks, NZQA ‘Hook On’ fee, Industry Training Organisation material and assessment fees.

Course Related CostsThe ‘Course Related Costs’detailed in each programme are additional costs, and are expenses associated with textbooks, NZQA credit registration and certification fees, special clothing and equipment, field trips etc, and are our best estimates, as they incorporate costs outside of our control.

Fee ProtectionComCol NZ operates a system of fee protection that meets the statutory requirements under the Education Act 1989 (Section 236A) and NZQA policy. All fees are held in a trust account which is independent of ComCol NZ accounts. Funds are released to the College only as you progress through your programme. This guarantees a pool of money that covers the unused portion of fees paid at all times, should repayments become necessary.You will be required to sign a “Form of Student Acknowledgement” as part of your enrolment process.This provides further details about the Trust account. If you are under 18 years old your parent or guardian will also need to sign this form.

Tuition Subsidy ComCol NZ receives Government funding for Advanced Learning Programmes through the Ministry of Education’s “Full-Time Equivalent Student” (EFTS) based funding. This is a subsidy towards tuition costs of the programmes and is taken into account when setting the tuition fees payable by students. The EFTS funding is received for full time domestic students only.

Refund Policy If the programme you have selected is cancelled, any fees paid will be refunded in full. If you withdraw from the programme within the first eight training days, you will receive a refund subject to a maximum deduction of $500.00 or 10% of the fee, whichever is less. If you withdraw on day nine or later from the commencement of your programme, no refund will be made. In circumstances where a student considers his or her withdrawal from the programme to be the result of extraordinary circumstances, the Directors will consider a written application for a refund.

Recognition of Learning and Credit TransferIf, for any reason, you are unable to complete your programme at ComCol NZ, units and credits already achieved toward National Certificate or Diploma qualifications are automatically recognised by other providers. This allows you to complete your qualification at any other accredited provider offering that qualification.
