CLASS: Meeting the needs of Māori

The suite of CLASS activities provides meaningful independent and peer group learning that you can put into action, while helping you complete your annual recertification requirements.

You can choose how many elements you wish to undertake, depending on your professional development plan, but it is recommended that you complete both CLASStime and CLASSact before CLASSmates.
