Each Wananga Reo paper is held over two weekends from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon and designed to put into practice on the marae what you have learnt in class. To pass the Wananga papers you must attend both weekends.
If you are a new student to AUT and want to enrol you will need to complete a full application for enrolment form. Under Section Four (4.2) Area of Study: Te Reo Part-time, Paper Name: Te Kakano I, Programme Code: AKCOP, Start Date: July, 2011. If you want to take the Wananga Reo paper you can add this under the paper name.
If you are already studying at AUT you must seek permission from your Programme Administrator or Programme Leader to add the paper to your programme. Alternatively you can take the paper as a Certificate of Proficiency (AKCOP) and receive a Certificate of Proficiency. You are also entitled to the nil-fee tuition fee as stated above.
