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].

About the provider
For more than 30 years, Regent Training Centre has been successful in helping to create options for students and trainees through education, support and mentoring. Our strengths lie in our commitment and dedication to improving the lives of all those that we work with. The first Regent Training Centre campus was based just outside of Whangarei, in Ngararatunua. What began with a small rural school housing just 2 classrooms, has steadily grown into 6 campuses across Northland and Auckland. While each campus may look different, they are all bound by an aim to see people achieve more than what they could hope for themselves. For many of our students, through no fault of their own, traditional learning environments have not worked.
