Custom built premises

Modern, custom-built premises in the heart of Whangarei’s industrial district are the home base for our Automotive Engineering courses. The automotive workshop is loaded with state-of-the-art equipment and has plenty of cars to pull apart and rebuild.

Hands-on learning

Our hands-on courses provide the required practical skills and theoretical knowledge for entry into the automotive trades. They also cover the overhaul of brakes, clutches, engines, fuel pumps and transmissions. You’ll get generous workshop time to develop skills to repair and maintain vehicles for yourself or future customers.

Apprenticeship ready

These courses are the perfect platform into a workshop apprenticeship, whether you’re working with cars, motorbikes, trucks, trains or farm equipment. Because our qualification is recognised around the world, this training opens the door for either local or international employment.
