Literacy & Numeracy Online Test (ALNAAT)
If you are enrolled in certain programmes you may be required to complete online tests at the beginning and end of your study year or semester. To do this your kaiāko will provide you with login codes and you will need to access the Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment Tool online to complete two tests, one for literacy and one for numeracy. Depending on the results of those tests, you might be asked to repeat those tests at the end of your programme. Your kaiāko will advise you on this process. These tests are a requirement of the Tertiary Education Council, the governing body for all tertiary studies nationwide, and will not affect your grades in any way.
LinkedIn Learning
This is a 24/7 online service that we provide free for all of our students. Log in with your Toi Ohomai single-sign-in and you will be able to access a wealth of online learning opportunities including thousands of hours of top-quality training available to you 24/7 and free of charge. Access LinkedIn Learning here or through the Toi Ohomai Hub.

Studiosity
This is a 24/7 online service that we provide to all ākonga for free. Log in with your Toi Ohomai single-sign-in and you will be able to consult with online experts or submit your draft assignments for academic critique. Depending on demand, your critique will be returned to you within a few hours, so make sure you allow time to review any changes they might suggest.
It is best to consider the best use of Studiosity as the service is limited to a certain number of submissions per semester. You can check out Studiosity here.
