We have been here for 27 years and we love this community. We love working with its diversity and enjoy the strong Māori and Pacific heritage of our students. Skills Update Training Institute has one of the best training facilities in NZ.
"We have undertaken a renewal program in all four of our established locations - Kelston, Papakura, Onehunga, and now Mangere. This is by far the biggest expansion with over 7000 m² of floor space added and the renewal of our existing premises” said Managing Director Farzbod Taefi. “Our building renewal program is a statement of optimism and investment in this community and it reflects our confidence in all of our present and future students.”
Some of the courses offered at Skills Update include: Automotive Engineering, Computer and Technology Skills, Transport and Logistics, Carpentry, Hospitality, Business Administration, Electrical Engineering, Metal Fabrication, Retail, Care for the Elderly, Pre-Forces Training, and Security.
The photo proudly shows our hospitality students catering for the opening celebrations. The hospitality industry is one of the fastest growing industries for job opportunities.
The increase in job advertisements over the past three months has been driven by strong growth in tourism numbers, from both domestic and foreign visitors.
Come and talk to us about how to get started in this dynamic and growing industry.
If you are thinking of building its a great day to pop down and hang out inside the Jennian Pokeno show home. Come on over and have a chat and a coffee! 131 Hill Park Drive, Pokeno

Really enjoyed today's visit from the Auckland branch of Blind Citizens NZ. Useful opportunity to better understand some of the issues blind and vision impaired Aucklanders face on a daily basis.
And unusual to have three labradors and an alsatian in my office!
