It is expected that providers refer to the below entry requirements when developing programmes:

Candidates must hold the class of driving licence and any licence endorsement appropriate to the vehicle being driven to be assessed for the standards mapped to Learning Outcomes 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8.

Literacy and numeracy
* Ākonga/learners require sufficient levels of literacy and numeracy to allow them to read and understand workplace documents, complete necessary calculations and complete assessments tasks.
* Providers will support ākonga/learners during delivery to ensure they have the level of literacy and numeracy required.

Language Proficiency
* For ākonga/learners who do not have English as their first language, the level of English language skills required is equivalent to an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 5 in General or Academic, with no band score lower than 5.

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.

This micro-credential may be used in programmes leading to Forestry Operations qualifications at Level 3.
