Gateway Programme
The BCITO Gateway packages include both theory learning and practical application. The theory learning is done in the classroom and is supported by on-site work experience.
To achieve meaningful outcomes for students the theory elements of the package are actual unit standards taken from National Certificates.
The practical section of the BCITO Gateway Packages has been designed to replicate a BCITO apprentice’s Record of Work and Assessment Manual. It contains sections on the key practical activities that a student may be involved in and a place to record what they have done when on their Gateway work placement.
The BCITO offers the following services:
- Signing your Gateway students into a BCITO Gateway Training and Assessment MoU.
- Providing comprehensive learning and resource packages for your students.
- Assessing theory unit standards when package is completed.
- Assisting you in getting to know your local industry employers.
- Helping students make career decisions.
- Introducing students to prospective employers when they leave school.
- Providing appropriate building and construction information for careers advisors.
- Assisting you with the consent to assess processes.
