Skills training for engineering, HVAC & refrigeration businesses
Credential your workforce, meet compliance expectations and build capability across engineering, manufacturing and RAC — delivered nationwide.


Workforce credentials
Workforce training and compliance certification
Individual unit and skill standards
Complete single NZQA standards aligned to specific operational needs. Choose assessment only or facilitated learning and assessment.
Bundled skill pathways
Structured combinations of standards designed around common industry roles, compliance requirements or capability gaps.
Approved filler certification
Assessment and certification for personnel filling regulated gases, including ammonia and refrigerants, where certification is required.
National delivery and reporting
Training delivered on-site or online, with formal assessment outcomes and structured reporting provided where applicable.
Industry Solutions
Customised and contracted training
We design and deliver structured training solutions for engineering, manufacturing, HVAC, and refrigeration businesses.
Training can be delivered nationally, on-site or online, either directly by ATNZ or in partnership with other training organisations.
Our training focuses on regulatory awareness, emergency readiness and the practical responsibilities required in industry workplaces.
ATNZ does not provide plant-specific operator or equipment procedure training.
Example: Ammonia safety training
We deliver structured workshops for ammonia refrigeration environments covering duties under legislation, regulations and recognised industry standards.
Scenario-based training strengthens emergency preparedness, helps identify capability gaps and supports improvement planning.


Welding simulation training deployed to your site
We deploy advanced welding simulation equipment directly to your premises, accompanied by a trainer.
The system delivers a highly realistic training experience across multiple weld types and difficulty levels.
Simulation enables:
- Safe learning environments
- Repeatable training scenarios
- Immediate performance feedback
- Reduced material waste
- Data-driven skill development
This solution strengthens fabrication capability and supports progression into formal study.


Workforce development
Workforce entry and employment programmes
We work with iwi, government agencies and aligned stakeholders to design structured pathways into employment within engineering, manufacturing and refrigeration sectors.
Programmes are aligned to defined employment outcomes and industry needs.
