Why this Programme is an excellent investment for a Provider working with Māori
Tikanga Ririki is the best programme for providers who work with whānau. The returns from this Investment are significant for the organisation.
The programme connects facilitators and clients with their inheritance, their ancestry and their beliefs. The content has come directly from matauranga Māori. Ancient values and the beliefs, when applied to tamariki, are given a practical and modern application. The techniques for dealing with tamariki to guide them also help to guide any relationships.
The accredited facilitator, the Kaiwhakamana, will find that the programme may change their lifestyle and their personal relationships. They will find their practical experiences adds substance to their deliveries and clients believe when they, too, find their whānau relationships improving.
The organisation will find that many boxes are ticked in their contractual outcomes related to client perserverance, finishing the Course and changes in lifestyle to do with tamariki-parent relationships.
Modules 3&5 can be done in 1x day at the end of the program. Reducing on-site hrs to 2x days. Duration of hours working in the field with whanau has been adjusted from 6mths to fourteen weeks.
