Tertiary education organisations in New Zealand include universities, Wanangas, Te Pukengas and other private training establishments.

Staff from overseas tertiary education organisations are also welcome to view these e-learning modules. If this matches your situation, please be aware that New Zealand's ADHD medical and legal guidelines at the time of writing may differ from your country's guidelines.
