What can I expect out of this qualification?

The purpose of this micro-credential is to provide ākonga/learners with formal recognition and credentialisation of the skills and knowledge required to apply pavement for a forestry road safely and effectively in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The micro-credential will cater to those already experienced in applying pavement for a forestry road who wish to have their skills formally recognised. This micro-credential is part of a training framework endorsed by the industry and provides a training opportunity for those in other primary industries who would like to upskill in this area.

This standalone micro-credential was developed as one of a suite of forestry earthworks micro-credentials. They provide specialist skills an ākonga/learner may choose to further pursue within the forestry earthworks industry that sit alongside Forestry Operations qualifications at Level 3.
