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.

Got an opinion on fireworks? Share it with us

If local we may be able to deliver. May contain the odd stone, or piece of terracotta pot. Easily removed, and we try and remove them as we load the soil.
