Welcome to
Industry Connection for Excellence
Growing your own career and our economy
Industry Connection for Excellence is a next generation training provider based in East Tāmaki, Otaki and Dunedin, servicing the North and South Island. We specialise in learning programmes for specialist trades; specifically Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying (PGD), Roofing and Electrotechnology apprentices.
You need to act now to take advantage of ‘Fees Free’!
Lock in training for your apprentice before 6 December 2024 to access the current Fees Free scheme and avoid potential upfront costs for your apprentices.
From 2025, the Fees Free scheme changes to cover only the final two years of an apprenticeship. By enrolling now, you’re helping your apprentices access immediate fee support, potentially avoiding upfront costs and financial strain.
Contact us today to enrol your apprentices and secure your training advantage for the coming years.
Delivering innovative learning experiences
Established in 2016, we are one of the only vocational training providers run by and for the trades themselves. If you learn with us, you will be taught by the people who were on the front line, with real world experience and insights to share. ICE is directly connected to industry, the experts on the tools.
Helping you gain qualifications is at the heart of what we do. Through our programmes you can gain the NZ Certificate in Plumbing, Gasfitting & Drainlaying.
Since we opened, we have gone from strength to strength, and so have our apprentices. We’d love you to join us on your PGD, Roofing or Electrotechnology journey as well.
