Where to study

Early childhood teacher education qualifications are offered by a range of universities, polytechnics, wananga and private teacher education providers. This has increased the number of places throughout the country where teacher education can be accessed.

Also available now are many more ways of studying towards an ECE qualification such as part-time, distance, online, centre-based and campus-based programmes.
