Fees-free courses for ages 16+

The Team from Skills Update Training Institute Kelston Campus

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.

Pre-Forces:
Get the preparation you need with us. Embark on a career where staying fit, travelling the world, meeting new people and enjoying new experiences are all part of the job!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
