Dip IRMT
This Diploma, designed by the Council, is unique in that it gives recognition to community music making. Many teaching musicians in New Zealand either participate in or take leading roles in local choirs, orchestras or musical productions. It also serves the important purpose of encouraging those who teach music to expand their horizons and explore areas of musical endeavour which they may not otherwise consider.

The core of the syllabus is the teaching section, but performing ability and general musicianship are part of the wider prescription. It incorporates both academic and practical excellence with flexibility of options for obtaining the 120 credits required. Attendance at Teacher Training Courses organised by the Institute of Registered Music Teachers also gains credit.
