Secondary School Offerings
ICE & CODE 2026
ICE (Intro to Computer Engineering) and CODE (Intro to Software Development) are short, hands-on programmes that give students a taste of our full-time IT diplomas.
Choose from four programmes: Networks, Digital Security, Programming and Games
Each runs for three days (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM), with two days of learning and one day of assessment. It’s the perfect way to explore IT, build new skills, and see what studying at Techtorium is all about.
Tech Pathways 2026
Tech Pathways is designed for students who are passionate about IT and want a deeper learning experience. Running one day a week (Wednesdays, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM) for the year, this programme lets students build practical skills while still at school.
Our 2026 programme is called IT Essentials – a mix of Computer Engineering and Software Development unit standards. This gives students hands-on experience across both areas, helping them discover which pathway they enjoy most.
We’ve designed the class so you can enrol students by term or for the full year, depending on your funding and preference.
Check out our PDF for the term dates, unit standard descriptions, levels taught, and credits offered.
It’s the perfect next step for students ready to go beyond the basics and explore IT in greater depth.
Tech Immersion Day
Tech Immersion Day is an interactive, on-campus session designed for Year 12–13 students who are interested in technology, or who want to keep their options open and explore tech as a potential tertiary pathway.
These sessions are ideal for careers advisors and IT teachers looking to provide students with hands-on exposure to IT and insight into study and career opportunities in the tech sector. Students will engage in practical activities and have the opportunity to meet Techtorium trainers and experience campus life.
Sessions are available by booking only, with a minimum group size of 10 students. If you have a group you’d like to book, please contact Rachel and we’ll work with you and your school to arrange a date that suits. We’ll then welcome your students onsite at Techtorium.
Trial & Tech
Techtorium offers a Trial & Tech experience for students who are interested in studying full-time with us. This gives prospective students the opportunity to sit in on one of our full-time classes and experience what a typical day in the life of a Techtorium student is really like.
Participants will join a class, buddy up with one of our full-time students, ask questions, meet the trainer, and connect with other learners. It’s a full, immersive experience designed to provide a genuine insight into studying at Techtorium and help students decide if it’s the right fit for them.
If you have any students interested in this opportunity, we have a booking process in place. Please email Rachel to arrange and book a Trial & Tech experience.
