Bridging the gap: NCEA catch-up credits

Bridging the gap: NCEA catch-up credits

Sue Mulrennan

Towards the end of each school year, some students are close to earning NCEA Level 2 or 3 credits but just fall short. This can impact their ability to pursue further study or specific career options. LearnWell, as part of The Open Polytechnic of NZ, recognises the importance of bridging this gap. To give students the best chance at their goals, we offer unique solutions for students seeking NCEA catch-up credits.

Options for NCEA catch-up credits

There are two key times when students might need NCEA catch-up credits:
  • At the end of the school year, particularly as they finish their external exams and have a little more time, and
  • after exam results are released. 

Our digital resources are designed to empower students to learn and engage independently. Our digital platform’s user-friendly interface promotes self-directed learning and fosters a sense of accomplishment. Teachers can monitor and mentor students directly within the platform, utilising built-in features. Once students progress through the resources, teachers can use their own tools for assessment. This allows students to complete the Achievement Standards required for NCEA catch-up credits in a shorter timeframe.

Why LearnWell?

Throughout NZ, there are other study options that offer similar opportunities to students. However these can come at quite a cost. LearnWell Digital resources have accessibility in mind. We believe in removing barriers to learning, making NZ-curriculum based affordable resources for all students to meet their learning goals. 

When you need a print resource

Alongside our digital resources, LearnWell offers Learning Workbooks. These have been specifically designed for use as standalone tools for individual Achievement Standards. Learning Workbooks offer a comprehensive and structured approach to cover the necessary material, making the learning process smooth and effective.
