About the Kiwi Computer Challenge

Are you a self-taught computer user? 

If so, you’re not alone – the majority of New Zealanders have taught themselves to use a computer.  We have enough computer skills to get by, but we spend too much precious time working out where we went wrong, or doing things the slow way because we don’t know any better.  This problem particularly affects our workforce – the engine room of our economy.  New Zealand’s productivity is leaking out through the holes in our computer skills.  

The Kiwi Computer Challenge offers us all a cost-effective, practical way to fix the problem. 

From those who already have some computer skills (or even quite a high skill level), through to people who have none, this is a way to check what you already know, learn what you don’t and then prove your skills by achieving a real qualification. 

The aim of the Challenge is that . . .

One million New Zealanders will have an internationally recognised
foundation computer qualification
by 2015

No more “talk-fests” that cost too much and go nowhere – let’s do something simple and practical to improve productivity in our workforce (as well as other areas of our lives). Let’s show the world that we really are a digital nation. 

To be successful, the Kiwi Computer Challenge needs you and everyone you know to get behind it – together, we can do it.

 We’re right at the beginning of a very exciting journey – please join us
