FREE Arts & Design<br />

course, with NCEA built in<br />

For those looking for a role that combines<br />

artistic and digital talents, then this<br />

outstanding, FREE, entry level course<br />

delivered by local Training Provider Trainme,<br />

is perfect for those wishing to pursue, graphic<br />

design, photography or digital media as a<br />

career.<br />

The course covers the introduction to media<br />

techniques such as drawing and photography.<br />

Students will learn to use design software<br />

and create their own design concepts while<br />

collaborating with other students on creative<br />

projects.<br />

This course is FREE to students aged 16 to 19<br />

and they only have to have NCEA 1 to join.<br />

Students without NCEA 1 can be admitted, if<br />

they show artistic or digital aptitude.<br />

“Many feel that school is not working for<br />

them or they left without qualifications,”<br />

says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary<br />

educator Trainme. “While not necessarily<br />

academically minded, they do have artistic<br />

talents and are very much into digital<br />

technology.”<br />

“This FREE six-month Trainme course,<br />

combines these in a very hands-on, practical<br />

way, giving them an intro<br />

into various digital media.<br />

This way, they can decide<br />

which direction to pursue<br />

as their career focus.”<br />

“As an NZQA approved<br />

programme, NCEA credits<br />

are built in, so if they<br />

apply themselves, they<br />

can graduate with a New<br />

Zealand Certificate in Arts<br />

and Design Level 2, as well<br />

as gaining credits towards NCEA level 1 or<br />

2.” Says Pollard.<br />

“NCEA results will depend on how many<br />

credits they bring to the course to start with,<br />

but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel like school<br />

at all.”<br />

Successful Graduates from this programme<br />
