Fees-free courses for ages 16+
Success is a journey - start yours today with our courses for the Hospitality and Automotive sectors, and Pre-Forces training. Our hands-on courses aim to develop trainees' skills, attitudes and knowledge while addressing the identified needs of various industries.
Hospitality:
Hospitality and tourism are amongst the fastest growing areas of employment in the world and the rewards for talented and focused individuals are high. Despite the huge growth in the Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation and Tourism industry, there is a lack of skilled staff to fill the vacancies. So no matter where you are in the world, there will always be job opportunities for our graduates.
Automotive Course:
The automotive industry is one of the largest in the world, offering a wide range of careers for motivated problem solvers with a can-do attitude and practical skills. Because of the advanced designs and high tech components used in modern vehicles, people in the industry require a high level of knowledge, skills and practical experience. Check out the automotive industry factsheet on MITO, New Zealand's Motoring Industry Training Organisation.

Boundaries of Adaptation - An exhibition by Nina Bulgakova
Boundaries of Adaptation
An exhibition by Nina Bulgakova
28 February - 18 March
Community Gallery Space - Franklin Arts Centre
Opening Event: Saturday 28 February, 10am
Adaptation is often understood as the ability to adjust to an environment, to accept its conditions and become less visible within it. In this body of work, the focus shifts to a different moment, the point at which adaptation reaches its limit and begins to form a boundary.
This boundary is not a gesture of refusal or isolation. It appears as a need to define how interaction with the outside world takes place. Not to shut it out, but to stay in contact while maintaining a sense of stability. Here, the boundary is not an opposition, but a way of reaching agreement.
The works take the form of wall-mounted sculptural objects, where the boundary becomes material and physically present. Within these objects, it is expressed through weight, density, surface, and tension of form, shifting from an abstract idea into a direct experience.
