Course Details
This course is an introductory building and construction course, designed to give you a taster of the skills needed to work in the construction industry in New Zealand.
Do you want to learn how to use tools safely and how to make small projects? Do you want to undertake your own home maintenance tasks, but don’t know how? Have you always wondered if a job in the building and construction industry is for you?
Come along and learn for free, with no assessments, to get a taster of whether you want to pursue this as a career option. There is no obligation to enrol into a construction certificate upon completion of this taster course, but we do offer part time and fulltime options to continue your studies if you decide to continue this journey.
