Background
Eight years ago the New Zealand Curriculum Design Institute (NZCDI) commenced work on the development of these unique qualifications.  An in-depth investigation of  the knowledge, skills, characteristics and capabilities required by innovative higher education sector Educational Facilitators, Curriculum Designers
and Academic Leaders was conducted.
 
The qualifications set out to provide the core knowledge, skills, attitudes and coaching experiences teachers, tutors, lecturers and educators require to staircase into Educational Facilitation and Executive Academic roles and careers. Our qualifications prepare graduates to work internationally as Academic Facilitators, Advisors, specialist Curriculum Designers, Curriculum Analysts, Programme Leaders, Department or Faculty Heads, Learning, Development or Training Managers, Deans or Academic Managers, Director, CEO, Vice President or Vice Chancellor positions.

   
These courses also prepare experienced or aspiring higher education Teachers, Tutors and Lecturers for more advanced national and international management, leadership, academic advice, educational quality assurance, development, training or education management and specialised higher education curriculum designer or analyst positions.
          
Assessment work in these qualifications is directly relevant to the above roles, supports your practice, and provides evidence that you are ready to move into the types of roles set out above, in New Zealand or in other international contexts.

The New Zealand Curriculum Design Institute (NZCDI) and the New Zealand Institute of Education (NZIE) have partnered together to provide this exclusive offer of these unique qualifications across New Zealand.

Both Institutes are committed to the development of innovation and excellence in higher education sector Educational Facilitation, Curriculum Design and Academic Leadership, and are supporting this development through a teaching, learning and research activities which are underpinned by a combination of evidential, practice-based research and application.
