Primary Industries

Our nationally recognised qualifications have been put together in conjunction with the industry – so we know our graduates have the skills and attributes wanted by employers.

In the primary industries skilled workers, with the right attitude and a strong focus on safety, are highly sought after. NorthTec's programmes give you the opportunity to gain skills that you can apply to industry within your own community.
