Assessment Information

Students are assessed in the workplace for unit standards that contribute to the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA), as well as industry-specific qualifications.

All units offered are unit standards only, so no course endorsement is possible and Gateway is not a University entrance subject.
