One of the core values of our organisation is the promotion of personalised learning, developing competencies, resulting in personal growth, and social development.

Through our pedagogy and approved programmes we enable people to enhance their self-confidence, raise self esteem and nurture their passion, and ensure they have the skills needed for

further study, employment and life.

We pride ourselves on providing high quality NZQA approved programmes that now lead to Level 1 New Zealand Qualifications.

The success of the SPEC courses is largely due to the network of support available to schools across the whole country, the face to face verification meetings along with the ongoing professional

development, exciting current resources that motivate students, and the fact that each and every individual student is valued and their learning needs are met.
