Recommended Prior Learning
Previous Student results in years 9 and or 10 Technology courses will be factored in when looking at course entry for this course, this is to ensure students are capable of experiencing some level of success for the NCEA credits on offer. For students that have not taken the course prior previous related subjects will be used as a guide. Generally, students will be successful in the year 9 and 10 courses if they complete their project work.
Other factors that are factored in are previous history of health & safety incidents, vandalism, and if relevant contract performance within the technology department.
