With the Auckland economy booming, there is an ever growing requirement of qualified staff in a number of roles that include event security, patrol security, retail security, community security, bar door work or employment as a bodyguard.
What's more, the Levels 2 and 3 programmes are free to eligible teenagers under the Youth Guarantee scheme and you'll get a travel allowance as well.
Zaya from Henderson is among those students who have taken advantage of the course to brighten their job prospects. The 20 year old says Skills Update is just what she needed to get her life back on track. "This is way better than school," she explains. "It's more like a family where you can relax and study at your own pace. Our tutor explains everything in an easy to understand manner and the course is flexible so I can juggle studies and family commitments."
Zaya is currently exploring a number of options before she enters the job market.
Quinton Te Ahu from Sunnyvale shares Zaya's positive outlook. "Initially I found the going hard, but with support from my tutor I carried on. I now enjoy coming to class because I know I'll have a great job at the end of it," says the 17 year old.
Tutor Garry Miller agrees both Zaya and Quinton have become more confident, disciplined and focussed individuals compared to when they started. "It doesn't matter what shape they come in, when they leave they are transformed individuals," he says.
A retired police sergeant who joined the Police in 1969, Garry currently volunteers with the Maori, Pacific and Ethnic Services division, training tomorrow's police recruits through the Auckland Safety Community Patrol.
He says the course is challenging and that's why the students love it. "Plus they know it's a good industry to be in."
And he assures: "If they show the dedication to succeed, I can guarantee them a job."

Has anyone been at home during the day and felt the house move/tremor (similar to that of a small aftershock). I'm assuming its a result of a preceding thud created by the motorway construction equipment being used.
My concern is; are those tremors being endured by our properties okay?
I do understand that houses are built with certain tolerances/structural integrity for such instances, but I am still concerned when I actually feel the tremors - (it rattles the crockery and if upstairs I can feel a slight sway!).
Hence, I write to you, my neighbours that are living close to the motorway construction site and ask that if you are also experiencing it or just concerned about it from reading this, then please submit a request to Auckland council?
Ideally, this will get the council to measure the tremors to assess if it's threatening to the surrounding buildings in any way.
Hoping it's nothing but rather be safe than sorry and if a few of you submit the request, it should at least get the councils attention to provide a response.

Megren

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.
Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?
