Mathew Jack experienced this first hand when he took a course in heavy automotive engineering at our Timaru campus. After Mathew completed his eight-month course, he found employment with Smallbone in Ashburton, where he lives.
He says the “excellent training” he received prepared him well for the job. “It set me up to excel in an exciting and demanding career.” In Timaru, we’ve got programmes in engineering trades, electrical, automotive and painting and decorating starting in February. You can learn all about them here.

Hi neighbours,
Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?

*Employees: Have you suffered an accident at your work place?
North Island Mussel company is fined with over $250K after worker loses eye in an accident which could have been prevented if they were following the correct Health and Safety procedures.
From that amount only $60K is reparation for the worker which is way too low for an injury that will affect his life forever. The injury was so bad that not even a prosthetic eye could be fitted.
Contact Paul Now to find out how he can help you and avoid a big fine to your company or a low reparation for your injury.
