Rotokauri Campus Information Session
Join us for an information session at our Rotokauri Campus and find out how you can get started.
In this year-long, fees-free introductory course, you will learn the hands-on skills and theory required to enter the plumbing, gasfitting, and drainlaying industries. Learn up-to-date technology and trends from industry-expert tutors, who can help you gain the foundations to move into an apprenticeship with confidence.
There is open entry to this programme although students must demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of success.
Selection criteria
To meet legal and health requirements, candidates must be physically able to carry out the practical components of the programme.
Where there are more candidates than places available in the programme, selection will be made on the basis of the following criteria:
a) Whether candidates have completed three years of secondary education;
b) Candidates’ academic achievement in NCEA Level 1 and/or NCEA Level 2, or Year 11 and/or
Year 12 English and Mathematics; and
c) Candidates’ demonstrated commitment to the industry.
English language requirements
Candidates who have English as a second language are required to have an International English Language Test System (IELTS) score of 5, with no individual band score lower than 5; or equivalent.
As some of the practical components within this programme are considered high risk, students will be required to submit to an initial drug screen, and may be required to submit to further drug screening if there is reasonable cause to suspect a
student is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as per Wintec’s Drug & Alcohol Policy (OP-16/04).
Please check the entry criteria for each programme to see which course is the best level for you to begin with. The entry criteria information can be found on each of the programme pages here online. You can also contact us directly to discuss the appropriate level for you at info@wintec.ac.nz.
