F.A.Q.
To enrol in Building & Construction you must be aged 16-19. To enrol in our Literacy & Numeracy bridging course you must be at least 16 – we’d love to see you even if you’re an “adult” student! If you’re looking to rebuild, upskill, or gain back some confidence after many years out of the work-force, we welcome you to our whanau!
Because of our class sizes and course structure, we do have the ability to work courses around your personal needs. Just be up-front from the get-go and tell us about your other commitments so we can make things work for you.
Can we tell you a secret? It doesn’t matter how many times we put this on our website or socials, the answer seems to get missed by EVERYONE! Yes. Our courses are FREE. No fees. No hidden costs. No tricks, smoke or mirrors. You won’t pay a cent!
We totally do. Often people think we only take teenagers. And that’s correct, for the Building course. But our specialist bridging course in Literacy and Numeracy is for ALL AGES. If you’re looking to make your move into mahi, or are looking to make moves towards further study in the degree of your dreams, then we really can help you get there!
Yes! We have bus-cards with your name on it! What are you waiting for?!
