I’m not sure if I am proficient enough to take part, what can I do to check?

The four-day wānanga will be done in te reo Māori exclusively. If you are comfortable in a full immersion reo Māori environment - in both listening comprehension and speaking - you will be proficient enough to take part.

If you're unsure of your proficiency or confidence, we recommend you complete the Level Finder Examination (LFE), that we run several times a year. LFE provides a general indication of a candidate’s ability to aurally recognise reo Māori speech, while also assessing knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.

Do not feel discouraged or excluded from this kaupapa if you have not completed your LFE. If you have experience in an immersive reo Māori space or have other tohu to show your comfortability and/or confidence with te reo Māori, then register your interest in Kura Reo Rāngai Tūmatanui and continue your journey.
