Course details

National Certificate in Building, Construction, and Allied Trades Skills (Level 2)
NZQF Level 2

About the course

This is the second of two qualifications that form part of the BConstructive programme, designed specifically to provide a progressive pathway for secondary school students to integrate into a wide range of trade-related occupations. The design and content of this qualification is the result of extensive national consultation with secondary schools and Tertiary Education Organisations.

The National Certificate in Building, Construction, and Allied Trades Skills (Level 2) [Ref: 1368] includes compulsory standards that focus on the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills and that form the structural base of the qualification.

The range of skills and activities contained in the elective section provides an opportunity for schools to develop a flexible approach to learning. This emphasis on the process of learning allows students to make informed choices on the subjects that are relevant and appropriate to their needs and purposes.

The qualification also provides a range of opportunities for structured workplace learning through work-based learning programmes, where students can test future career and employment opportunities. Learning can then take place in a more realistic environment, allowing students to make informed decisions on their transition from school to work.

The qualification could lead to the National Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4) [Ref: 0016].
