      ab: The National Certificate in Mental Health and Addiction Support (NCMHAS) was a programme designed specifically for support workers. This paper reports a research study that aimed to identify factors contributing to students from the programme successfully transitioning into further studies. Participants were 32 support workers who graduated from the NCMHAS programme from 2013 to 2015. A quantitative descriptive exploratory approach using an electronic questionnaire with 21 questions, including three open-ended questions, was used to gather data. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to examine the closed questions and thematic analysis was used to explore the open questions. Nine participants (28%) went on to further studies following completion of the NCMHAS programme. Key factors associated with continued study were 'enjoying learning' and 'being a student' with 89% of respondents identifying them as key factors. 'Tutor support; 'group work' and 'hearing experiences from consumers with lived experience' assisted in students' learning. 'Enjoying learning; 'being a student; 'family/whanau support' and 'tutor support' all contribute to graduates going on to further study.
