Questions before you enrol

The things people ask us most before starting.

Is 240.00 NZD worth it for one course?

Yes. It is based on the acclaimed in-person workshop created by Roimata which organisations book for their whole team. Nine modules, taught by a lawyer with over two decades of Treaty casework. You have access for 60 days, so you can return to it as often as you need during that time.

How long will it take me?

Most learners finish in 2 hours but can add on extra time for reviewing the further reading and reflections.

Do I need to know te reo Māori or any law?

No. The course starts from the texts themselves and explains the legal terms as they come up. Learners come from HR, teaching, local government, health and community organisations.

Can my organisation enrol a group?

Yes. Teams of five or more can be set up on a single invoice with individual logins. Contact us and we will arrange the access and the invoice together.

What if it is not right for me?

If you have not started the second module, tell us within 30 days and we will refund the course in full. Once the second module is under way the refund window has closed.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. A certificate of completion is issued once you finish. It can go toward your professional development record.
