Concrete

Sims & Blue's story

Since it started back in 1962, Dunedin painting and decorating firm Sims & Blue has trained 99 apprentices. Together we ran a campaign to help them find lucky number 100.

Upskill yourself or your team

A positive workplace culture fosters business growth. That’s why we don’t just offer apprenticeships, we also offer training and qualifications for your existing team.

By training your existing team, they’ll be more valuable, more motivated, and encouraged to stay in your business longer. 

Micro-credentials

Futureproof your business with niche skills that are in high demand and suit the way that work is evolving.

A BCITO micro-credential is where your team can gain specialist skills in a short timeframe.

Get your existing experience formally recognised

If you’ve worked in the industry for a few years, but don’t have a qualification we’ll help you get one. 

Level up your supervisory skills

New Zealand’s construction industry has an extreme shortage of qualified supervisors. Gain the experience and skills you need to be a high-performing qualified supervisor. 

And for an employer, gain an extra pair of hands to help the team with day to day management.
