The delivery mode and learning environment of Te Pou Hono ki Toi is based on traditional Māori learning principals and is influenced by tikanga and manaakitanga.

This programme is delivered encompassing a variety of study activities including, kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (face-to-face) learning, guest lecturing, practical field work, group workshops and workbooks.
