CNSST Education Institute’s Online Learning
In response to the very serious risk to public health posed by Covid-19, CNSST launched temporary online delivery of their English language programmes as of 20/3/2020. CNSST utilises specialised professional online education software to replace face-to-face in class teaching thereby creating a healthy and safe learning environment.
CNSST Education Institute’s current programmes delivered online include NZCEL Foundation, Level 1, and Level 2. We offer small-sized group classes, and enrolment is open all year round. These classes are fees free for eligible students (conditions apply*).
CNSST Education is an approved PELT (Pre-paid English Language Tuition) provider and currently delivers the NZCEL programmes mentioned above to PELT students. Online group classes & individual tutoring are both available for PELT students.
A range of schedules are available in the 10 hours or 5 hours per week intensity level. Besides normal academic English language study, we have invited professionals to expand our online content to include a weekly Tai-chi class, workshops including mental health care during lock-down, settlement information, public health etc.
After the online teaching period ends, and the public health risk has been appropriately mitigated, we will offer various extra-curricular activities, like cultural and historical trips, social events, and day trips.
* Basic criteria on free enrolment includes: NZ citizen or resident. Aged over 18. English level under level 4 (further conditions may apply).
