Free museum entry for New Zealanders and people living in New Zealand
Turn your museum experience into a recognised qualification with the New Zealand Certificate in Museum Practice.
This is an entry-level qualification for people working or volunteering in museums. You’ll get a broad understanding of museum practice through self-paced, accessible modules. You’ll have 18 months to complete the qualification.
Modules include:
• the role of Māori in museums
• safety and security practices for museums
• developing, organising and maintaining museum collections
• managing the installation of a museum exhibition
• planning a tour
• evaluating a public programme.
The qualification is administrated by ServiceIQ, an industry-based training organisation.
