Where this course can lead
Where this course can lead
This course leads to NZQA Level 1 BCATS program. The production of various projects will cover the required skills necessary for any basic wood project in building and construction. The essence of the skills gained can lead to various project designs using the Technology Curriculum.
Students are able to personally design and construct individualised projects by utilising a wide range of skills and expertise. Students will then apply the workshop skills such as measure, mark, cut and finish materials thus enabling them to assemble to production standards their work pieces.
Further on from BCITO Level 1 and 2 is the BCATS Level 3 standards. Also many of the students who undertake these courses go on to the Build a House which is situated on the WHS grounds
