Enrolling in Programmes and Courses
CPIT runs a wide range of programmes, qualifications and courses. Some of these programmes and courses are open entry and anyone can enroll. Enrolments on these are done on a first come, first served basis. Enrolling on-line with a credit card is the fastest way of getting your enrolment in.

Many of the programmes and courses are not open entry and you need to apply to be admitted to the programme or course. This often involves submitting information about your high school or college academic record, but it may involve other things as well, such as providing a portfolio of art work for art and design programmes. Each programme or course described on these pages includes information about the entry criteria if there are any, and an application form.

Almost all the courses and programmes have a tuition fee. The fee for students who are New Zealand citizens or residents is different to the fee charged to international students, as the New Zealand Government subsidises the fee for New Zealand students.

Full Time & Part-Time
Many of the programmes and qualifications can only be studied on a full-time basis. This means about 40 hours a week of study or more.

Students who wish to study for less than 32 hours a week are seen as part time students. Many of the courses can be taken by part time students.

 If you wish to study less than 32 hours a week, then tick the "part time" check box in the course search screens.

Please note: All Institute courses require you to provide evidence of achievement of a certain level of written and spoken English (except English for Speakers of Other Languages and English as a Foreign Language courses.)
