L2 Future Trades

Trades Academy Level 2 helps students to pursue their interests and Vocational Pathways in a new, hands-on learning environment on a off-school site.  This will prepare them for further study at Polytechnic within their chosen pathway or for entering the workforce. Students who take this course will have dual enrolment. They will spend one day a week at a tertiary provider and the rest at school.   Students must maintain appropriate attendance at both school and Polytechnic to remain on the course, and they are also responsible for maintaining class work.  Trades Academy Courses usually offer between 20-40 credits on course completion. Transport is provided there and back.

Students can apply for a place on this course by selecting it as a subject. Applicants will be accepted after a successful interview by the Careers Department and then only after acceptance onto a Polytechnic Trades Academy course. To be eligible for entry into the Polytechnic Trades Academy you must have 60 credits at NCEA Level 1 including literacy and numeracy.
