Ultimate 2.0

Ultimate 2.0 is designed for students continuing from Ultimate, or 16-19 year olds who may already have NCEA Level 1 and are looking for a course that will provide them with valuable life skills, employment skills, a look into the different career and study options out there, and an NZ Certificate in Foundation Skills (Level 2).

Like Ultimate, Ultimate 2.0 also includes further career and study tasters to help students decide what career they may want to work towards and further learning they can take to get there. These tasters vary between campuses, but may include business technology, barista training, early childhood skills and much more! They will also have the option to earn their learner drivers licence, restricted licence or forklift licence. There is a focus on generic business and technology knowledge, as the skills gained are very useful for a wide variety of higher-level study and employment opportunities.

Students who complete both levels of Ultimate can finish with two Foundation Skill qualifications and even achieve NCEA Levels 1 and 2, all in just one year! Upon completion of our Ultimate courses, students can pathway onto higher study with us. The Level 3 New Zealand Certificate in Business (Administration and Technology) is a direct pathway for this course, as students will have completed a course taster and several units around the topic of business technology. Successful graduates of Ultimate 2.0 may also meet the requirements for some Level 5 programmes. Graduates looking for employment can move into entry-level work involving customer service or administration.
