Nothing gives our tutors more satisfaction than handing out certificates to acknowledge the hard work and dedication shown by our students.
Congratulations to Zach Coote of Nigel Bryant Logging on the completion of your Level 3 Automotive Engineering Qualification.
A moment made even more special when the whole team stops what they're doing to come together during their busy work day to celebrate the achievement. Well done done Zach. Level 4 awaits😉!.
Nigel on hand with NMIT tutor Paul for the presentation. Awesome work team. 💪👍👏👏

What better way to start the week with than with a Level 4 Light Vehicle engineering certificate presentation. Congratulations to Callum Humphries of FWD Spares-Nelson in reaching the milestone. Callum's dad/manager/carer David and NMIT apprentice manager Paul up for the handshakes, even Callum's Kingswood project made a special guest appearance for the photos. Great work team. The industry needs more people like you👏👏👍

What a way to round out the week. Congratulations to Jed at Heslops on your Level 4 Heavy Vehicle - Road Transport award. What was extra special was how Steve and Mike brought the team together to celebrate with you. Fostering a team focused environment like this gets higher employee engagement, improves productivity and creates a more supportive workplace culture. Well done chaps.

This week we once again celebrated student achievement with Jamie Hogarth's Level 4 Light Vehicle Engineering Certificate presentation. Senior Tech Layton Murdoch (Nelson Fork Trucks) and NMIT tutors Barry and Pete who have collectively spent many hours with Jamie on his journey to qualifying up for the handshake and the "good on ya mate" shoulder slaps. Well done Jamie. 👍💪

Not to be outdone, our 2 Nelson Automotive Trades Academy groups got to sample a bit of EV, Hybrid and Future technologies discussion today. We covered safety after an EV/Hybrid accident, how to drive them to get the maximum distance from a charge and how to look after that all important battery. A few willing volunteers even got kitted up ready for high voltage work. Some great discussions were had during the day. Well done teams.👍💪

Going by those smiles, Georgia and Nyala look like they've been enjoying themselves way too much on our Automotive Engineering Trades Academy course in Blenheim. Having dismantled and then rebuilt a small petrol engine over the last few weeks they actually got to fire it back up today to prove their work was solid. Well done girls👏👏. We hope you decide to bring that passion into the trade when you leave college. Keep up the good work.💪💪

For all our petrol headed friends that love a bit of turbo flutter here's how a proper tuner works his magic.
