About The Fruition
Level 6 Diploma

Each Level 6 micro-credential is equivalent to one of the six papers that together make up the Fruition Diploma of Horticulture (Level 6). The full diploma is typically completed over two years and focuses on advanced horticulture production and management skills.

Fruition offers each paper as a stand-alone micro-credential, allowing learners to build targeted knowledge and skills without committing to the full diploma programme.

These micro-credentials are offered with the intention of seeking approval for stacking towards the Fruition Diploma of Horticulture, providing a flexible pathway for learners who may wish to progress into the full qualification over time.

Jordan Hetterley-Ngaia

Kia ora whānau, ko Jordan tōku ingoa. I’m the Hastings kaiako for the Hei Whanake programme, bringing a strong background in horticulture and the primary sector into my teaching. Through my journey, I’ve gained hands-on experience across different areas of the industry, shaping both my skills and my passion for working alongside people.

I’ve lived through a range of experiences and challenges, navigating obstacles with resilience and determination. These experiences shape how I show up — with authenticity, empathy, and a strong focus on whanaungatanga.

My passion is people. I’m driven by the desire to support learners from all walks of life to build confidence, discover their strengths, and realise that what once felt out of reach is achievable. I create practical, hands-on learning environments where learners feel supported, challenged, and empowered to grow.

Hei Whanake offers opportunities to develop essential life and employability skills, build strong connections, and engage in meaningful, hands-on learning. I’m committed to walking alongside learners and their whānau, supporting them to set goals and create pathways into employment or further opportunities.
