NZQA Level 2 Standards & Courses

Browse NZQA Level 2 standards and bundled courses across engineering, fabrication, electrical safety, refrigeration, air conditioning and related trade areas. These options commonly build foundational knowledge before learners move into greater technical responsibility.

Purchase an individual standard for one defined skill or choose a structured course bundle where several related learning outcomes are best completed together. Already have the skills? Where assessment-only options are available, eligible learners can gain recognised NZQA credit for skills they can already demonstrate without completing unnecessary training. Tutor-supported options provide structured learning where new skills need to be built.

What’s Included In Level 2 unit standards

Available standards may include:

  • worksite and workshop safety
  • hand and power tools
  • engineering measurements
  • materials and basic calculations
  • lifting and handling
  • introductory fabrication
  • electrical safety
  • refrigerant and HVAC fundamentals
  • drawings and technical information
  • basic maintenance practices

This collection may suit learners developing early workplace skills, people entering a new area of training and employers addressing a specific foundational gap. Store filters allow customers to compare options by trade area, credits and delivery format.

Level 2 describes the complexity of the learning, not a complete occupation or qualification. Each listing should be checked for practical work, workplace evidence and equipment requirements.

Individual standards offer focused learning, while bundled courses can provide a clearer starting sequence. Full programmes remain the right choice where the goal is broad trade development and a complete qualification.

Browse the NZQA Level 2 standards or choose a bundled course where several related foundational skills need to be developed. Learners can continue to NZQA Level 3 standards when appropriate or explore Trade Taster learning for introductory mechanical engineering exposure.
