How long is the programme?
The Programme is 8 hours in total.
What is the cost of the programme?
The fee for the Programme is $195. Please note that all payments are final and non-refundable.
Who is eligible to enroll in this programme?

How is the programme offered?
The Programme is offered through a mixed-method approach. It includes 4 hours of self-directed eLearning, followed by 4 hours of live online workshop with midwife educators. This programme does not cover the remaining 4 hours of cultural safety required by the MCNZ.
How will I access the course materials?
Once enrolled, you will receive instructions on how to access the course materials via our website. Your login details will provide access to your 4 hours of self-directed eLearning modules.
Can I attend the live session without completing the 4 hours of self-directed eLearning?
No, completing the 4 hours of self-directed eLearning is a prerequisite for attending the live session. Think of them as a unit; once you complete the first component, you'll gain access to book your live-taught workshop.
Can I rebook my session if I am unable to attend?
Yes, participants may rebook their sessions up to two times; however, these will need to be booked within the two-month registration validity period.
What happens if the minimum number of participants is not met?
Course dates are tentative until at least ten participants have registered per live-taught online workshop. If this requirement is unmet, you will be informed of any postponements and offered new dates. The team will do their utmost to minimise this disruption.
How can the remaining MCNZ accredited 4 hours of Cultural Safety be attained?
The additional 4 hours of Cultural Safety can be completed through a course provider of your choice. The 8 hours from the Tūranga Kaupapa will be combined with those 4 hours to fulfil the full complement of 12 hours of MCNZ cultural safety education requirement by 2027.
Will Iwaiwa Trust offer an additional 4 hours of MCNZ accredited Cultural Safety training?
Yes, we intend to. Once the delivery of Tūranga Kaupapa is underway, the team will apply to the council for an additional 4 hours of Cultural Safety training.
