EDUCATION & TRAINING AT THE Y

At the Y, our students come to us from all different areas, walks of life, schooling and cultural backgrounds. We work with students individually to create a lesson plan that will get them the qualification and the outcome that they are striving to achieve. And if you are a hands-on learner, the Y is a great place for you to achieve. Programmes are currently running in Whanganui & Palmerston North

As well as doing classroom-based work, we have opportunities to take part in sport, art, culture and even cooking!

We have small classroom sizes to allow for individualisation and we have a hugely talented and supportive group of tutors who are keen to help students achieve.

Travel allowances are available for Youth Guarantee Students.
