Carpentry
Get started in the booming New Zealand building industry with our practical training. Our carpentry programme will get you grounded in the basics and ready to get to work.
You’ll be trained in every aspect of a house build – including foundations and roofing – so you’re ready for work on the West Coast where our builders do the lot! You’ll even get to build a three-bedroom house alongside your classmates to get a feel for the real job.
The 34-week programme gets you ready for work. It includes three weeks’ work experience with a local West Coast builder, which can often lead to offers of apprenticeships after your training is finished.
Our tutors make sure you know how to handle yourself on a building site. You’ll learn how to use hand and power tools, understand health and safety practices on-site and become more confident and more employable on a building site.
