Short courses

ATNZ is committed to being a responsive and flexible training organisation and is producing a series of short courses on demand. These non-NZQA-certified courses are designed to respond to industry requests and provide specialist training to fill immediate skills gaps. We have recently launched the first of these courses, and further short courses will become available throughout the year.

Feel free to search our current options and if you have any requests for training or short courses you need but don’t see, then please chat with your Account Manager or email 

We can also offer any unit standards from our 300+ catalogue we are accredited to assess – so let us know what you are interested in and let us talk possibilities.

Understanding Fabrication Engineering ATNZ

Getting underway

with gateway

The Metalwork Engineering Gateway Programme provides an excellent introduction to engineering and is valuable learning that can be useful in the future.

Pricing and Payment
The Metalwork Engineering gateway package costs $350 plus GST per learner. ATNZ will invoice your school directly.

Duration
Learners should engage with work-based learning once a week for ten weeks.

Enrolment

Please complete the online Learner Enrolment Form below for each of your learners. They will receive a declaration to be signed via ‘Docusign’ to confirm their placement. Each school needs to submit one School Account Form the first time they enrol a learner.’

Welding training

via Simulation

ATNZ are excited to introduce the latest welding simulation equipment to New Zealand as part of our commitment to future-focused training. The welding simulation equipment is highly realistic and authentically relevant to “real world” usage.

Now with robotics, the equipment can simulate all weld types, materials, consumables, and positions, and can be deployed to your premises with a trainer. This flexibility to simulate all positions and difficulty levels makes welding simulation an invaluable training tool for any business in the industry. This welding simulation training transitions perfectly into a Fabrication Engineering Apprenticeship or associated micro-credentials.

The Benefits of Simulated Training

Faster Learning
Simulation technology allows immediate feedback on a learner’s performance. Trainers can instantly review simulation results and provide feedback on improvement areas, helping trainees learn far more quickly and efficiently.

Cost Savings
Welding simulation technology reduces costs by decreasing the materials and equipment required for training. Virtual welding enables trainees to practice their skills efficiently and does not wear out equipment.

Repeatable Training Scenarios
Trainers can easily create repeatable scenarios across various welding techniques and procedures. As a result, trainees can conveniently practice their skills and learn to respond to different welding challenges.

Safe Learning Environment
Welding can be a hazardous process, especially for inexperienced welders. Welding simulation technology allows trainees to practice their skills in a safe and controlled environment without risk of injury or damage to equipment.

Flexibility
The flexibility of welding simulation technology allows trainers to tailor training programmes to the needs of individual trainees. Creating different scenarios and adjusting to various difficulty levels will enable trainees to learn at their own pace and provide a more personalised training experience.
