our online course

Our Online Rainbow Awareness Course is now live. This is a great option if you need a flexible time to do the course from home or work or have a large number of employees or if scheduling a time for all your employees to attend a live workshop is tricky. The course has twelve video modules, each followed by a short quiz to gauge engagement and learning. Get in touch if this option might suit you best.

What Our Clients Say

"We ensure we have a (Pride Pledge) training session every year … The values of the Pride Pledge aren’t a tick box process for us here at RealNZ, they are engrained customs which we practice every day. RealNZ loves working with Martin and the team and we salute the impressive work they have been doing within Queenstown and NZ."

"The Pride Pledge training initiated great korero about how we can (and will) continue to improve our inclusivity in our everyday practice in and out of the workplace. The teams thoroughly enjoyed the safe space created to share knowledge and personal stories. Overall, the training was engaging and informative, thank you!"

Olivia Bloom

Family Action

"For companies that are thinking about taking the Pride Pledge, I’d strongly recommend it. With diversity comes strength and engagement, your employees are happier, they can be their true selves, and your customers, if they feel truly welcome, then they’ll become your greatest advocates."

Transport Manager, NZ Ski LTD

"Personally, your session has made a positive impact on my life. My son had his 15th birthday over the weekend. Him and his mates were hanging out ... my husband made a comment about how they would act differently if there were girls in the room. I gently suggested that the ‘boys’ might be gender and sexually diverse. And boom! The conversation blew wide open and my son’s friends openly expressed how they identified. It was a beautiful moment ... It was a really fun moment filled with curiosity and I got to see first hand the difference of developing our literacy in this area. So, a GREAT BIG THANK YOU...!"

'Ana'

Executive Director, of Aotearoa based family support service.

"I attended your Rainbow Awareness training session this morning and just wanted to tell you how fabulous I thought it was! Thank you for sharing your story, thank you for sharing your knowledge, thank you for giving just a small snippet of your time to help others to understand just a little bit more about the rainbow community ... Thank you again for an incredible session. Right here, you’ve got an ally who is definitely standing up and speaking up for the entire rainbow whānau #loveforall "
