Te Pūkenga Network

Otago Polytechnic is part of Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (Te Pūkenga).

From 01 November 2022, all references to Otago Polytechnic on this website (and any documentation linked through this website) need to be read as references to Te Pūkenga and its Otago Polytechnic business division.

Te Pūkenga brings the Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and the arranging training activities of certain Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) together to create a national network. This will give learners more choices and flexibility in what, where, and how they learn.

Existing Otago Polytechnic ākonga (learners) will be enrolled with Te Pūkenga automatically in the same qualification and will continue to learn in the same way, in the same place, with the same people.

Learners should note that all programmes offered across Te Pūkenga are under review to ensure they are portable, consistent and aligned with the needs of industry and may be changed. Where there are changes to programmes that you have applied to enrol in, you will be notified of these changes.

If you have any questions or would like more information about this change you can find more on our website at Otago Polytechnic or contact us by phone / email at tepukenga@op.ac.nz.
