To legally home educate in NZ, a parent/guardian must obtain a “Certificate of Exemption from Enrolment at a Registered School” for each child. This is not available or required before the child’s 6th birthday.
This Forum aims to clarify a process which can cause some anxious moments! Be guided through the application by the staff that deal with them so that you can write yours with confidence or help others to prepare theirs. Support groups may wish to consider sending a representative or two to be up-to-date with the current Ministry approach.
Obviously, staff will be unable to go through individual draft applications but it’s certainly an opportunity to ask questions.

Bill teaches technology to home educated students. The classes are for students from age 10 up, and cover electronics, woodwork and metalwork, and can be done in conjunction with a TCS course for teens seeking NCEA credits in technology (since Bill is a registered teacher).

See his website for his prices . There are 4 students per class so they get plenty of 1:1 support. His workshop is in Papakura -not far from the motorway offramp.

I would just add that students work with power tools so need to be mature enough to focus and follow direction throughout a 2 hr class -10 is a minimum age.
