AKO Workshops
The short courses that we run throughout the year are designed specifically from the feedback of our Hokianga community. Our tutors are regional experts, our classes are small to ensure the best outcomes, and our fees low to non existent. We believe in providing accessible, relevant and cutting edge workshops to all of the people of Hokianga.
