NCEA Level 1 Manufacturing Engineering

Level 1 Manufacturing Engineering is for students who wish to pursue an Engineering trade related career.  Trained people with skills in all areas of trades and technology continue to be in high demand, as skill shortages remain even in times of recession.  The skills taught in school-based Engineering and Technology courses give a sound basis for further training in Trade and Industry.

This course gives the motivated and career focused student the opportunity to achieve a Level 1 qualification in Engineering by following a prescribed Industry Training Organization (COMPETENZ) series of Unit Standards.  The course combines theory, drawing and practical units and uses metalwork as the focus.

Unfortunately, workshop space availability means that students cannot take this course in conjunction with Level 1 Construction and Trades (BCATs).  Students have the opportunity to pick that up in addition in Year 12, provided that they have been able to demonstrate solid work habits and ethics.
