FAQ’s:

1. How long does an apprenticeship take to complete? 3 – 4 years. This may be shorter if you have completed a level 3 pre‑trade qualification.
2. How much do apprenticeships pay? It varies between host companies. But the average annual salary for most of our apprentices is $41,000-$52,000. You may receive a higher or lower amount than this bracket depending on your skill level and the financial ability of the host company.
3. Is there an upper age limit for apprenticeships? None. Anyone aged 16 or over with the right to permanently live and work in New Zealand is allowed to undertake an apprenticeship.
4. Do I need my own tools? Some companies provide tools, while others require you to have your own. It is always good to build a supply of your own for the future. One of the benefits of being employed directly by ATNZ is we offer our apprentices interest‑free loans for tools.
5. What qualifications do I need to get an ATNZ apprenticeship? No qualifications are necessary. We are looking for people with a great attitude and a good work ethic who want to be hands‑on and earn something they are passionate about.
6. Are there any fees for being an ATNZ apprentice? Whether you are employed by ATNZ or do your apprenticeship through your current employer, apprentices pay no fees.
7. What happens if my host company does not have enough work for me? Another advantage of being employed directly by ATNZ is that if your host company can’t continue employing you for whatever reason, we will do our best to place you with another host company.
