The UCOL Wairarapa campus in Masterton was thrown open to visitors on Wednesday.
A free lunch was offered to prospective students and demonstrations were held on baking and pastry and joinery.
Carpentry students had started building a three-bedroom home complete with ensuite at the campus, which featured as part of the open day and housed the joinery demonstration.
