About G&H Trainings E-Learning programme

All G&H Training's Carpentry students have access to our innovative e-learning programme. The programme has colour photographs, video's, interactive exercises and text that is easy to understand. It was designed to support your learning. The material is complimentary to the BCITO Theory Resource which contains students 'final assessments' for each unit, and is the theory resource that the BCITO recommend for all Carpentry learners.

Background to E-learning

G&H Training spent three years developing an innovative carpentry e-learning programme.  The programme contains all the theory unit standards in the National Certificate in Carpentry (L4).  It was created with the aim of providing an efficient and effective method to deliver this part of the National Certificate qualification, and to make the learning experience enjoyable and interesting for our learners.

Benefits of E-Learning

We believe, you, as a learner, benefit from this system by:

• Having a variety of learning tools. These include colour photographs, video clips, and interactive exercises. These tools make learning more effective, more fun, and give insight into modern industry materials, practices and methods.
• Regular feedback by the interactive exercises and quizes to check your understanding.
• Access to your E-Learning lesson plans at night and on the weekends wherever you have access to the internet.

We also believe that e-learning in general (and our system in particular) can benefit the construction industry by:

• Providing a standardised system of delivery for the National Certificate in Carpentry qualification that is accessible around New Zealand. This could encourage consistency in the sector and allow for more coherent quality assurance.
• Using computers to bring more of the reality of a building site into learning and narrow the gap between theory and practice.
• Keeping learning material updated and instantly made available to learners, to reflect changes in building regulations, standards and trends.
