All courses transitioned to full online delivery via the SIT2LRN Blackboard platform, enhancing accessibility and flexibility.

Today

Learners enjoy a seamless digital learning experience, featuring rich multimedia content, interactive assessments, and real-time communication tools.

Tracey Coertse | SIT2LRN Health & Safety Management Graduate

Tracey enrolled in the NZ Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety Management with SIT2LRN. “My diploma with SIT helped to open the doors for me in this country and [to start] working my way up. It’s just been a really good journey, overall, a fantastic experience.”

Dr Teri McClelland | Acting SIT2LRN Head of Faculty

"...it was the uniqueness of the SIT2LRN delivery that made it stand out; by embracing a mixed-mode package early on and running with it - using TV, the internet and technology before most other institutes - it ultimately led to our considerable success in the distance learning space."

Amy Coombes, NZ Certificate in Interior Décor (Level 4) graduate. “What was attractive about the SIT distance learning option was the flexibility of the course to undertake it whilst working full-time. The Zero Fees Scheme was also a large incentive to choose SIT says Amy; she recalls “it felt like Christmas opening up my first lot of art supplies in 2013”.
