WELCOME TO LEARNER FOCUSED TRAINING

At Learner Focused Training (LFT), we design and deliver training for the New Zealand construction industry. We contract to companies and work with them to fulfil their training needs.
Since 2015, we have delivered training at the introductory, work readiness, trade qualification, and construction supervisor levels.
We pride ourselves on creating both informative and fun classes in a relaxed and truly supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable enough to share their knowledge and real-world experiences, which enhances their learning.

Currently, the classes we deliver are for BCITO apprentices and supervisors. In the past, classes were delivered in small face-to-face groups from Whangarei to Cromwell. Due to Covid-19, we changed our delivery method so all of our classes are online, using Zoom Video Conferencing. This has worked well eliminating travel time and letting people attend in the comfort of their own home. Our classes are still highly interactive and we work together as a group through the course content.
For this year, BCITO is offering LFT carpentry and supervisor classes for FREE to apprentices and supervisors signed into appropriate BCITO courses, to further help and support you in your carpentry career. So save yourself hundreds of dollars and take advantage of this opportunity!

WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY
It was really chilled and also it was good because I got heaps of knowledge out of this course. The way that Phil and Adrian teach us is really informal and they explain it properly and so that it is easy

I liked meeting the other apprentices, learning a lot about Building/Construction. There is a lot more to it. Helps a lot taking these courses, especially having a family. Passed 6 theory topics from taking these courses which helped.

Gain extremely valuable information and Specs. Before attending and participating in class, I was often very overwhelmed and nervous about the assessment. Since being in a term of stage 1, I’ve increased not only in knowledge but also in confidence. I passed 20+ topics. Not much, this is a great class. Very grateful for all the teachings.
John Pasifika Carpentry Class 2018
Attending the classes has really helped me throughout my journey. I am trying to succeed in Building. I am a slow learner just because I don’t have the confidence to do what I’m doing, but this course helped me a lot. Thank you for the time you spent doing this course for our future. God Bless.
Pasifika Carpentry Class 2017
Thanks to the course. Got all my theory units signed off. Probably wouldn’t have gotten qualified without the classes cause I’m lazy. I passed most units. Shot Phil. Change nothing. The course is perfect as is. (Maybe some stuff crust pizza).
Pasifika Carpentry Class 2018
The brother explained in such a way where the subject could be sunken in deep and Phil made the class sound interesting. He has awesome character/ open to answer questions. Love every session of class. Thanks, Phil
Derek Pasifika Carpentry Class 2017
I found all the content taught to be very informative. The classes are invaluable. Every topic covered gave me more understanding and knowledge. It’s a fantastic class.
Johnny Pasifika Carpentry Class 2017
I’ve learnt a lot on all the subjects we covered throughout the course. Listening and communication skills have improved since I’ve started this course. I passed all subjects covered in stage 1. Hoping for the same result on the next assessment for stage 2. 😊 I feel everything covered in class was done to a very high standard. Pretty happy with how this course went. Thanks, Phil. God Bless.
Tevita Pasifika Carpentry Class 2018
The classes are very engaging, and the information was helpful. The Slide shows showing pictures of other people’s work helped me to understand more and see a bit of how it’s done on-site.
Taufa Pasifika Carpentry Class 2017
The class was very motivating. Seeing all the boys making good notes and participating made me want to pass more assessments. Close to 20 topics passed over two stages.
Farjay Albany Carpentry Class
This class was helpful as it taught me to be more comfortable with my Training Advisor, Also allowing me to understand the process needed to complete my assessments. I liked how he was explaining the process and what kind of stuff to do.
