As the building business becomes more complex and clients more demanding, builders need to have all-round management and technical skills to remain competitive.

Now with PlaceMaker’s LIFT Education, you have a trusted business partner with the expertise to help you develop these skills.

PlaceMakers has partnered with leading professional organisations to develop a series of unique Education options from nationwide Innovations Roadshows presenting overviews of new industry developments, to specialised business-focussed training options. LIFT Education membership is free to all PlaceMakers trade customers at the invitation of their JV.

• It’s nationwide. Courses are held at main centres and towns throughout New Zealand.
• It’s practical. Short, hands-on programmes with useable tools and solutions.
• It’s not back to school. Sessions take place in a variety of environments from on site to seminar rooms or at PlaceMakers stores.
• It’s available to those that need it most. You decide if courses are applicable to your staff, your partner or yourself.
• It’s dynamic. We are constantly developing and testing new Education options based on your feedback.
• It’s flexible. Customised, one-off seminars can be delivered to businesses or groups in any particular area by arrangement.
• It’s affordable. PlaceMakers’ superior buying power means a cost-effective rate.

How do I join LIFT Education?

What if I’m already a LIFT Rewards member?

If you’re already with LIFT Rewards, there’s nothing else you need to do, as you automatically qualify for LIFT Education membership.

Choosing and booking Education options

New Education options are constantly being developed and you will receive a quarterly calendar telling you all about them. These options are available only to PlaceMakers LIFT members in all areas covered by the PlaceMakers stores.

When you join LIFT Education, you’ll be provided with a member number and PIN number. You use these to book your Education options either by calling 0800 611 222, or by logging onto www.placemakers.co.nz.

www.placemakers.co.nz

The PlaceMakers website is your front door to LIFT Education. Once your application has been accepted, we’ll send you a confirmation letter with your unique member number and PIN.

When you visit the website, just click on the LIFT icon and you’ll be asked for your member number and PIN. Once you’re signed in you can then check out the latest Education options, book and pay for options by credit card and review your current bookings. Most options have a final booking date and a prompt will remind you of this.

Unlike LIFT Rewards members, LIFT Education Members do not earn points so you do not have an online Points balance. However, you can still use the website to keep track of the options you have booked under “My Bookings”. To help you plan ahead, some options have a “pay by” date and “seats available” window displayed on the website.

Paying for Education options

As a LIFT Education member, you pay for Education options you choose by credit card via the LIFT website or by calling 0800 611 222.

If you are a LIFT Reward member, you can choose to use your Reward Points, cash or any combination of the two to redeem Education options.
