School of Creativity and Art. Study via distance learning or onsite. Gain NZQA qualifications in transferable creativity through the vehicle of art.
Spray cans, stencils, screen printing... and a qualification to match 🎨
Our brand new NZ Certificate in Art and Design (Level 3) Urban Art is the first of its kind, and it's an intense 20 week deep dive into everything urban art. Think spray paint techniques, stencil work, screen printing, posters, stickers, heck even your own merch and clothing lines.
Our Urban Art Kaiako Liam is here breaking down what ākonga can expect: real briefs, real projects, and the space to find your own way of making them happen.
If you've ever wanted to take your art from the sketchbook to the streets (properly, skillfully, with the techniques to back it up), this is where you start 👆

We are SO excited to share that TLC was named the winner of the NEC Creative Gold Category at The Post 2026 Gold Awards last night!! 🥇
The Creative Gold Category is a celebration of film, media and everything to do with creativity throughout Wellington. And wow, we knew it was tough competition when we saw some of the other nominees.
Just to give you an idea of the previous winners, think along the lines of Weta Workshop, Flight of the Conchords and The Royal New Zealand Ballet 🤯
This award reflects the passion and dedication that makes TLC such a special place to be at, both for students and staff.
We LOVE what we do, and we want everyone to discover just how life-changing a splash of creativity can be 🎨💜

'Shared Matter' is our latest group exhibition featuring the wonderful works from staff and students across all levels with us at TLC.
The theme is "sharing" (fitting actually), and it was up to all of our artists to interpret this in whatever way they saw fit.
As said by the exhibition's talented organiser :
"The show really highlights the diversity of thought, style and experience being fostered here at TLC"
We couldn't agree more! So check out all of the works on display at from today until the 29th of May.
Open 9am - 4.30pm weekdays :)

On Friday, MP for Hutt South, Chris Bishop, visited The Learning Connexion's LAB Gallery to view our exhibition 'Worn - Prisoners' Shoes and the Stories They Tell' - a powerful showcase of work created by ākonga in our Corrections programmes.
Worn brings together deeply personal and expressive pieces that reflect stories of identity, resilience, and transformation. It’s a reminder of the important role creativity can play in building confidence, connection, and new pathways forward.
We appreciated the opportunity to share more about the impact of our programmes, and the meaningful outcomes we’re seeing for those engaging in creative education within Corrections facilities.
Ngā mihi Chris for stopping by!
There is still time to view this exhibition. Due to popular demand, Worn has been extended for a further two weeks, until Friday May 8th!
Open Monday - Friday, 9am - 4pm, at TLC’s LAB Gallery, 182 Eastern Hutt Road, Taita.
