Welcome to After Three… Evening Programmes for Adults
Opening up Learning
After Three gives people the opportunity to study a wide range of Hagley’s courses away from their daytime commitments. To minimise barriers for adult learners there is no enrolment fee to study the After Three programme.
Is After Three for me?
Courses are particularly suitable for adult learners who may be looking to transition into a new career, wishing to upskill, or just wanting to learn a new skill that they’ve always talked about. Your reasons no doubt will be as diverse as the subjects we offer.
When are the classes on?
Most courses run once a week from Monday to Thursday across four modules (one per school term) throughout the year, with teaching starting at 6.30pm. While the face to face class is two hours per week, all courses offer the option of individual tutorial time with the teachers for half an hour before, and half an hour after each class. An additional hour each week is available for further learning outside the class using ICT. This hour is for further study, research, or follow up tasks out of class as directed by the teacher. Students without ICT access are able to use Hagley facilities.
Pathway Programmes to Further Learning
‘After Three’ courses are aligned with Hagley’s curriculum areas. Each course offers assessment opportunities for those who wish to gain credits towards an NZQA Record of Achievement. Those who do not wish to undertake assessments are not required to do so.
