Our hands-on courses aim to develop trainees' skills, attitudes and knowledge while addressing the identified needs of various industries.
Distribution
Distribution is big business in New Zealand, employing about 1 in every 20 New Zealanders. Get into the distribution, logistics or freight forwarding industries, as this qualification will help progress your career no matter your age.
Free forklift licence and Reach Counter Balance included due to growing demand for forklift drivers.
Retail
Retail is a fast-moving industry and New Zealand organisations need to respond to customer demand and predict future trends. Whether you’re already working in retail, or trying to get a foot in the door, this intermediate/supervisory level qualification will ensure you stand out from the crowd.
You'll develop your ability to give feedback, respond to customer complaints and establish better communication in the workplace, sales and consumerism, workplace training and you’ll gain retail skills that will impress your potential employer.
Hospitality
Hospitality and tourism are amongst the fastest growing areas of employment in the world and the rewards for talented and focused individuals are high. Despite the huge growth in the Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism industry, highlighted is the lack of skilled staff to fill the vacancies.
The beauty of Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism is that no matter where you are in the world, the industry has a place. Whether you choose to work in hotels, events, attractions, or anywhere else in the sector, there are always jobs available to Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism graduates.
Business Administration and Technology
Whatever the industry, all businesses need qualified and professional administrative support staff. Build your business administration and computing skills to enable you to be confident with office operations and business services.
This programme will help you develop basic accounting skills, including table and formula use, as well as business document and publication production. You'll learn how to use mobile and digital technology systems and software in order to meet organisational requirements.
Plus, this certificate will also develop your understanding of office functions, financial transactions and documentation, as well as customer service.
Computing Level 2 and 3
Basic knowledge of computers.
Foundation Studies
Free Learners Licence
All Courses are FREE and students receive a HOP card for travelling to and from our courses. Free use of Games Room and onsite Gym. Campus is local and easy to get too.

Christmas fever has certainly taken hold in Franklin.

I love this festive time of the year - yes, it’s out-of-control busy, but so exciting - especially for the younger members of the Kaio household.
It’s all on this weekend in Pukekohe and Tuakau for the town’s annual Christmas parades. Santa sure is going to be busy Saturday and Sunday.
His first port of call is Tuakau on Saturday, with floats set to make their way down the main street at 3pm sharp.
Then Pukekohe gets to host the big jolly man in red on Sunday, with the parade kicking off at 2pm.
Both are shaping up to be great events, and the team at FCN will be at both. Look out for photos in Tuesday’s paper next week.
If your life, health or property is in serious danger, an Emergency Mobile Alert could be sent to your mobile phone.
