"The Sports Administration course was a great opportunity to meet with administrators from other sports codes, find out how other sports organisations work, and gain ideas to improve the administration systems in my own organisation. Particularly useful was learning how to write sponsorship proposals, prepare financial statements and get familiar with some of the legislative requirements that impact on voluntary organisations. After being involved in teaching adults, it was really nice to be on the learning end and I have since enrolled in further tertiary study." Sharyn Kerr, WAIKATO HOCKEY ASSOCIATION "As the secretary of our club I found the National Certificate in Sports and Administration an excellent way to undertake professional development. The wealth of knowledge I gained from the course is a aonga/treasure: it will help to promote and extend our club in the future. Everyone in our class helped one another achieve our goals. We had lots of laughs, exchanged lots of ideas and made friends for life.The teachers were excellent and always there to help and I thoroughly enjoyed the delivery of the different programmes.
