Certificate in Renewable Technology Level 4
OUR VISION Rukuhia te mätauranga ki töna höhonutanga me tōna whänuitanga. Whakakiia ngä kete a ngä uri o Awanuiärangi me te iwi Mäori whänui ki ngä taonga tuku iho, ki te höhonutanga me te whänuitanga o te mätauranga kia tü tangata ai rätou i ngä rä e tü mai nei. Pursue knowledge to the greatest depths and its broadest horizons. To empower the descendants of Awanuiärangi and all Mäori to claim and develop their cultural heritage and to broaden and enhance their knowledge base so as to be able to face with confidence and dignity the challenges of the future. OUR MISSION Ū tonu mātou ki te whai ki te rapu i te hōhonutanga o te mātauranga kākanorua o Aotearoa, kia taea ai te kī, ko wai anō tātou, me te mōhio ko wai tātou, kia mōhio ai nō hea tātou, me pēhea hoki tātou e anga whakamua. Parau ana tēnei ara whainga, hei whakapūmau anō i te tino rangatiratanga, hei taketake ai te ihomatua Māori me ōna tikanga kia ōrite ai te matū ki ngā mātauranga kē. Koia rā ka tū pākari ai, tū kotahi ai hoki me ngā iwi o te ao tūroa. Koia nei te ia o te moemoeā me ngā tūmanako o Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi. Haere mai Me haere tahi tāua. We commit ourselves to explore and define the depths of knowledge in Aotearoa, to enable us to re-enrich ourselves, to know who we are, to know where we came from and to claim our place in the future. We take this journey of discovery, of reclamation of sovereignty, establishing the equality of Māori intellectual tradition alongside the knowledge base of others. Thus, we can stand proudly together with all people of the world. This is in part the dream and vision of Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

This programme provides an overview of foundation concepts in renewable energy for those who work, or want to work with renewable energy systems. Explore this field as the basis of a new career choice and to support investment in sustainable renewable energy technology for home, marae, community centre or commercially. Although it is a technical subject, the programme is delivered in largely descriptive terms, with some simple calculations required of the type you met in secondary school. The programme will allow students to: Gain skills and knowledge that are directly relevant to working, or further training, in the renewable energy sector. Demonstrate knowledge and skills to standards recognised by the industry sector as appropriate. Develop work habits and practice appropriate for further training and employment in the renewable energy sector. Carry out pre-feasibility research to establish the renewable technology options requiring further professional analysis and manage the process to get the technology solution that best meets needs. *Programmes to be delivered in 2018. 7
