A division of the Marine Industry Association, BITO's special character as an industry training organisation is built on the long tradition of apprenticeships in New Zealand's boating industry.

From successful Trailer Power Boats to internationally acclaimed Super Yachts and race winning performance Yachts, the New Zealand marine industry is forecast to double in size over the next 10 to 15 years and is dependant on a strong and well trained work force.
The New Zealand marine industry is one of New Zealand’s largest manufacturing industries with over $1.5 billion in sales, employing over 10,000 people and has over 200 employers employing almost 600 apprentices.

Contact us today and we would be pleased to discuss any aspects of our apprenticeship training programmes with you.
