Jack Heath

Automotive Engineering
(Year 2 Nelson)Waimea College
This is Jack’s second year of Automotive Engineering, and it’s the practical and technical aspects of the programme that he particularly enjoys.
“I enjoy Trades as it gets you away from school for the day. I love being in the workshop as it’s really well set up and equipped with great tools and equipment. I’ve learnt how a two stroke diesel engine operates and to disassemble and reassemble the engine and to get it running nice. I would recommend this course to anyone who is passionate about cars, truck or bikes and would like to have hands on experience.”
Jack is looking to complete the NMIT pre-trades automotive course next year with a view to taking on an apprenticeship with a local business.
