Apprentices in the field of architecture and urban environment in New Zealand

Field of study is derived from the qualification number. Non-qualification based programmes are not assigned with a Field of study classification (NZSCED).
Learners are counted once in each Field of study they participate in. Learners may participate in multiple fields and summing across will produce a number greater than the overall total.

Workplace training: also known as trade or industry training, involves learning and earning money while you work. Apprenticeships are one type of workplace training. This can be done in a range of hands-on industries.
Apprentices are workplace-based learners who do substantial training programmes at Levels 4 or above. Apprenticeships provide opportunities for learners to establish careers in new occupations. Apprenticeships include New Zealand Apprenticeship programmes, and programmes at equivalent levels and credit loads, as well as the remaining Modern Apprenticeship programmes.
Trainees are workplace-based learners who do short programmes, often at lower levels. Traineeships often cater for established workers and employers who need supplementary skills for their workers to help them continue to adapt to changing technologies and other working conditions. Traineeships are also used to train new employees.
Industry training organisations (ITOs): organisations responsible for arranging training for apprentices through the New Zealand Apprenticeships Scheme (since 2014).

Industry training learners are counted once in each year within each fund and/or type of training. Learners may be counted in more than one category in a year. The total is a count of distinct people in total in each year.
Data has been rounded to the nearest 5 to protect the privacy of individuals, so the sum of individual counts may not add to the total.
Unless otherwise specified the data does not refer to a specific point in time, but all learners throughout the entire calendar year.

The definitions of trainees and apprentices used here may differ from those used by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC).

This data counts of industry training learners, regardless of whether their activity was funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) in the year shown.

In January 2014, the Modern Apprenticeships programme and other apprenticeship training was replaced by the nationwide New Zealand Apprenticeships.
Differences between the old and new apprenticeship schemes include:
- Modern Apprenticeships were designed for people between the ages of 16 and 21, but New Zealand Apprenticeships are available to anyone over the age of 16.
- Under the Modern Apprenticeships scheme you could work towards a Level 3 national certificate, but under the New Zealand Apprenticeships programme you must work towards a minimum of a Level 4 national certificate.
Existing Modern Apprentices will continue to get the level of support and subsidy that they currently receive until the end of 2017, or until they finish their apprenticeship.
