About the course
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 maintain and rehabilitate forestry roading safely and effectively in a forestry earthworks context in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The micro-credential will also cater to ākonga/learners that are already experienced in forestry earthworks maintenance and rehabilitation 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.
