Counselling @ Ntec National Institute of Education

At Ntec, my goal is to train 21st century, client-directed, evidence-based Counsellors and family therapists.seventy years of Outcome Research data in the industry has proved the obvious – therapy works, with the average treated person who seeks therapy for presenting issues being better off than 80% of the population who do not seek therapy assistance when they may need to.

A lot of other training organisations in the field seem to have remained “stuck” in an ideological and student delivery time-warp, teaching outdated and often discredited models of Counselling intervention and assistance, whilst placing artificial performance criteria upon students that have absolutely no basis in evidence.

At Ntec, we recognise that we live in an international age of instant communication and feedback, a society of busy and complex lives, and a client population who require a valid “menu of options” as to how they seek therapy assistance.

Our Ntec Diploma in Counselling and Family Therapy focuses on how these diverse client needs can be both met and measured, be that through traditional counselling service provision, right through to app, online, and e-therapy applications.

Critically, we also emphasise the importance of the measurement of results in the work we do with clients, and the Ntec Diploma in Counselling and Family Therapy is the only counselling training programme in New Zealand that delivers an entire module on Routine Client Outcome Measurement.

Students who graduate from our Diploma will be “21st century-ready Counsellors and Family Therapists, able to confidently operate in any manner of counselling environment that may come their way, and they will know “what works” with their clients, because they will be measuring their client outcome results with every client that they work with.

So if you’re interested in learning how to become a 21st century therapist – join us!

Our integrated counselling programme will assist to prepare students towards working in the counselling profession. The programme has a client-directed approach that combines theory and practice as students develop the knowledge and skills of best practice counselling.

Duration2 years full time, or 4 years part-time.

Programme ContentStudents learn how to communicate appropriately and respect client vulnerability through combining natural compassion, empathy and ethical practices. Problem-solving tools are also introduced, and students learn how to record clients’ progress within the context of professional counselling.A solid grounding in current research and co-operation with other health professionals is a core feature of this diploma. The optional oppurtunity for internships are often available with a range of counselling and other social service providers. For a snapshot of some examples of programme content, please go to: www.counsellingnz.net which is the dedicated supplementary learning website for Diploma in Counselling and Family therapy students.

Career OpportunitiesThis Diploma in Counselling will prepare you for career opportunities as a counsellor, community worker or other social service care provider. The skills developed through this programme will offer you the flexibility to make choices about your career prospects that best suit your needs and area of interest. Should you wish to practise as a professional counsellor you may opt to apply for a membership to a number of voluntary to join New Zealand based professional associations.

Introduction to the College of Future Learning NZ (FutureCOL)(extract from our Maori waiata welcoming you)

TAUPARAPARA

Tui-i-i! Tui-i-i! Tui-tuia!Bind together! Stitch together! Weave together!Tuia i runga! Weave together!Tuia i raro! Those things from below!Tuia i roto! Those things from within!Tuia i waho! Those things all around!Tui-i-i! Tui-i-i! Tui-tuia! Bind together! Stitch together! Weave together!

The College of Future Learning NZ (FutureCOL) has been an education and training provider in New Zealand for the last twenty-seven years. It is located in the Hawke’s Bay and has campuses in the region’s two main cities, Hastings and Napier.

Through its networks in the industry, FutureCOL is able to combine learning with work experience and employment opportunities. Students complete training programmes to high qualification standards, and obtain industry competency that meet employers’ expectations of “hitting the ground running” at the start of their employment.

Why Study Cookery in Hawke’s Bay?Students studying in Hawke’s Bay work with fresh quality foods directly from the region’s local markets that are abundant with fruits, vegetables, meats, grapes for award winning wines and seafood. Orchards, farms and vineyards flourish in the region’s Eastern Coast beautiful growing weather providing seasonal employment opportunities. Graduates have expressed their appreciation of living outside large cities, enabling them to concentrate on studies, perfecting culinary skills in a less stressful lower cost living environment. As skills are developed, students gain part-time employment in one of the many restaurants found in this tourist region. Once qualified, students’ highly transportable skills allow for relocation to any destination throughout New Zealand and benefit from the trained Chef skills shortage. Study at FutureCOL enables international students to work alongside New Zealand students and practise English skills, and learn how to live and integrate within this friendly community of Hawke’s Bay.

‘Chance Favours the Prepared Mind’- Louis Pasteur

The Professional Skills Development (PSD) programme is best summed up by this statement.

Opportunities will come to those whose minds are prepared and ready. Realisation of oneself, therefore, is the key to a successful and fulfilling career and indeed, life.

PSD is designed to be an integral part of all Ntec Diploma courses. The learning outcomes of the programme are to provide students with an understanding of the New Zealand way of life, develop a greater awareness of self and hence gain confidence, job search and employability skills.The programme is designed to engage all learning senses. It is taught using activities like games, role play, as well as using videos. PSD has its own dedicated Facebook page: NTEC Professional Skills

Development Programme.

Following are some comments extracted from student feedback:

“Above excellent (course rating) is the honest feedback, not trying to make anyone happy. It was the best learning experience I ever had. Well done with the design and implementation of this programme.”

“This is a very good (programme) to teach students because in this way we can’t feel homesick and people from different countries can understand by ‘eyes, ears and heart’. I can say that ‘PSD is a great class for international students’.”

“The programme is very good. All the things we learnt in this course are very valuable. It is very helpful to improve our personality and communication skills. The method which they used to teach is excellent. I always recommend to other students to join this course if they want to improve their personality.”

Ntec believes that the education of our students goes beyond the technical knowledge and skills of their Diploma courses. Our students need to be better learners and after graduating, to be work-ready employees. The PSD programme provides for this and it is our way of showing our students that we believe in giving them a holistic learning experience.

Professional Skills Development


Leadership and InnovationNtec Toastmasters International Club - Youth Leadership Programme

New Zealand Innovation Centre

The purpose of Toastmasters International and its Youth Leadership Programme is to provide an opportunity for people to come together, share ideas and to improve in areas, such as :

• The ability to structure their thoughts into a coherent and well organised speech

• To think on their feet• Improve organisational and leadership skills• Gain confidence in public speaking

Ntec has the fortunate opportunity of providing a Toastmasters platform to its students, many of whom are international. Students are thus able to be involved in these programmes as well as have the opportunity to meet and network with others.

Ntec is a partner and sponsor of the New Zealand Innovation Centre. NZIC meets a specific and targeted need for new migrants, international students and graduates. NZIC gets highly qualified and competent migrants into wealth creation and international student graduates into productive work/research/business development.

NZIC works collaboratively with all stakeholders and with other innovation centres to ensure that our centre provides the best opportunities for our target group.

NZIC identifies the skills and expertise that migrants bring with them to this country and provides them with an opportunity to build further on these skills for the benefit of themselves and the future of New Zealand.

At the Ntec Toastmasters sessions participants not only get the opportunity to present their speeches in front of a group, they also get the chance to present in front of invited guests such as the Toastmasters Area Governor and other Qualified Toastmasters who often visit the club.

On completion of the Toastmasters International programme, students are awarded a certificate which is internationally recognised and testifies to their abilities as competent communicators and effective leaders.

The aims of NZIC include:• Commercialising ideas• Encouraging and assisting inventors,

in the research, development and commercialisation of new products and processes

• Core focus on new Kiwis including migrants, current students and graduates.

• Supporting top researchers (we provide space and facilities)

• Supporting entrepreneurs (we provide space and facilities)

• Introducing new products.• Facilitating and funding projects.

OrientationOn arrival in New Zealand students attend an orientation programme. This is an opportunity to meet the staff and fellow students, receive useful course information, and find out more about life in New Zealand. Orientation includes an introduction to the various aspects of living in New Zealand covering social services such as health services and counselling that are available to students.

Student trips and social activitiesSpecial activities organised for students include horse riding, sailing, bush walks, ice skating, barbecues and parties.

Multi-cultural festivitiesOur students come from many different countries and Ntec ensures that its students are able to enjoy all the festivities that take place around the world, in New Zealand. Festivals such as Diwali, known as the “Festival of Light”, may be celebrated with music and dance and a light meal in the college café. Each year thousands of Aucklanders attend the Chinese Lantern Festival. The festival is one of the events in a series of Chinese New Year celebrations, and includes food stalls, crafts, fireworks and martial arts displays.

Careers FairNtec recognises that many students need to find employment both for professional development and to help with living expenses. Each year several Careers Fairs are held, and students are encouraged to attend these. Students are able to find out from the various exhibitors about career choices and potential employers.

We at Ntec believe in being responsible citizens of New Zealand, and it is our commitment to this belief that we also see a need to impart such values to our students. Students are taught the New Zealand way of doing business as well as work culture and ethics.

Environmental InitiativeNtec has undertaken to support initiatives in New Zealand to improve the environment. A team of students has been working for 4 hours each week on a reserve about 20 km from the college. The group has been involved in clearing weed trees from the area of native bush and then preparing the land for planting of native trees. In total during the last year, they worked for more than 400 hours. This commitment from Ntec and the students has been of immense benefit to this project. Students were presented with certificates by Graham Falla, member of the Friends of Mangemangeroa committee at the 2012 March Graduation Ceremony to acknowledge their contribution.

Ntec and the Auckland Chamber of Commerce

have signed an agreement for Ntec graduates

to be part of the New Kiwis, which links New

Zealand employers with skilled migrants eligible

to work and currently living in New Zealand.

Ntec level 6 graduates who have their graduate

job search visas will be able to attend the New

Kiwis Career Success course, which is free to

participants, and provides graduates with job

search skills, and networking opportunities.

Diabetes New ZealandDiabetes New Zealand is a national charity that represents people with diabetes. Ntec students have volunteered at Diabetes NZ Auckland located at Mount Eden, offering their services to help with administrative tasks, such as preparing flyers, letters and mailers. Our students have also been called upon to assist at the society’s events, helping to serve drinks and refreshments. Our students have found the engagements meaningful as they spend time on a worthy cause. Furthermore, through helping out at events, they are able to network and communicate with a wide and diverse range of people.

Blue Dragon Children’s FoundationBlue Dragon Children’s Foundation is an Australian organisation working on the streets of Vietnam to make a lasting change. They help kids get off the streets, into safe homes, and back to school. Since Blue Dragon started in 2003, they have helped over

1100 children to go to school – including street kids, children with disabilities, and trafficked children.
