New Zealand Certificate in Foundation Skills (Level 2)

This qualification is intended to assist people engaging or re-engaging with learning who have the basic capabilities needed to pursue education or employment pathways, but require further development to confidently use them to succeed in those pathways.

It recognises the importance of applying core capabilities such as confidence, basic knowledge and skills, and literacy and numeracy, in a range of familiar contexts.

MSL is a foundation training provider which has helped thousands of people into employment or further study since we began in 1998, when MSL Training was established in Papatoetoe by Paul Marks and Ralph Fairbrother. Both realised the need for sales education and as a result the first course introduced was retail. It was a small class of 8-10 students and a room was hired at the Allenby Motor Inn in Papatoetoe.

Paul and Ralph soon realised their students needed more skills and training and in 1999 MSL Training Group Ltd was formally registered as a Private Training Establishment specialising in foundation education. We ran courses in our specialist areas of computing, business, hospitality, literacy and numeracy, and career coaching. So we know how to help you get into employment or on the pathway to further training.
