Trades Courses

	Our programmes Relocatable homes

NMIT’s Trades programmes have a strong focus on “hands on” careers and provide training for some of the region’s key industries including: building construction, automotive, engineering machining and heavy fabrication. Training is available for those wishing to enter these trades and those already working in industry. Staff are well qualified and work closely with industry to ensure that programmes are aligned with their needs.

When you study with us, you'll find experienced staff committed to helping you with your learning needs and assisting you in gaining the qualifications you’ll need to succeed in the career of your choice.

We are currently offering a relocatable 1-bedroom home, being built by our Carpentry students in Marlborough, for sale. General enquiries can be addressed to: Andrea Johnston-Taylor at andrea.johnston-taylor@nmit.ac.nz. Alternatively, you can see photos and find out more, or view our listing on TradeMe here.
