2013Prospectus

The National Equestrian Academy (NEA) is based in Rangiora at Community College North Canterbury in a beautiful rural setting.

The indoor-outdoor classroom provides a pleasant working environment for our students and a high proportion of our programme is practically based. Students ride and work with a variety of Academy horses onsite, gaining a range of experiences and a better understanding of individual horses and breeds. There is also the option for students to bring their own horse along for the duration of the programme at the tutor’s discretion.

The practical day to day experience with the horses provides students with a definite advantages in terms of a richer understanding of the theoretical elements of the programme. Additional expertise, resources and work placements provided from local industry professionals are also highly valued.

The Academy has an outstanding reputation in the equine industry with job opportunities often offered to our students before the end of their training. Students have the opportunity to gain employment in polo, racing, sport horse, endurance, stud farms and other areas of the industry in New Zealand, England and Australia.

In 2013 we are offering a 31 week programme incorporating the National Certificate in Equine (Stable Procedures) - Level 3 (Sporthorse Stable Assistant). Our programmes are accredited for student loans and allowances, and small class sizes (a maximum of 15) means that students have regular one-on-one time with the tutors.

A typical day for students might be to undertake horse care and management tasks (such as feeding and general health care) in the morning, followed by riding skills, which may include independent riding, arena work, show jumping, cross country, lunging, riding and leading, and co-coaching. The afternoons are usually spent in both practical and theoretical learning towards NZQA credits.

The students also benefit from the close relationships that the Academy has with different sectors of the equine industry, participating in industry visits and regular work experience placements.

Community Colleges New Zealand (ComCol) comprises five South Island based Colleges, each providing a different range of learning opportunities to meet the needs of their local community.

Community Colleges North Canterbury is one of these five and was the first to establish as Rangiora Enterprise Trust in 1982. Although we have had some name changes since then, the management, passion and commitment of Community Colleges North Canterbury to student success remain the same.

ComCol has a strong commitment to our students to provide quality, student focused learning. This commitment is reflected in the passion shown by staff, the peer support and collegiality, the academic achievements of our students and their respect for our values and environment; and the support of local business in provision of work placements and employment opportunities for the students.

We offer a kinaesthetic (hands-on practical) learning environment based on recognition that the majority of our students prefer to learn kinaesthetically, however, you will have a chance to discover and use your own preferred learning style.

Our mission is to provide our students with a safe, values based and practical learning environment where they can achieve success that provides a foundation for them to enter and progress in the workplace and within their community.

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.

Community Colleges New Zealand Ltd provides a range of advanced learning programmes at levels 3 and 4 on the National Qualifications Framework. 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.

Essential Information for Students - Advanced Learning Programmes

What you will achieveBy successfully completing one of these programmes you will have learned valuable skills that can be put to use in the industry you have chosen. 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. Payment of any course costs must be made prior to ComCol NZ committing itself to the particular expense.

DepositAll programmes require a deposit of $300 on acceptance of your application and confirmation of your enrolment. The receipt of your deposit will indicate your commitment to joining the programme.

Balance of Tuition fees

Full Tuition Fees, less the deposit paid, are due at either the end of the fourth week of the programme, or on the approval of your Student Loan. Please note carefully your responsibility for the fees. If you have any questions at all relating to fees, please ask your Community College Student Liaison Officer.

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.

12.

Programme details may be subject to change. Programme commencement will be subject to sufficient enrolments, and the availability of adequate staff and resources.
