Competenz Micro Training

Building forestry skills doesn't have to mean time away from the mahi.

Competenz forestry micro-credentials are short, practical, and designed to fit around the job, not stop it.

Five programmes on offer:

  • Chainsaw Use in a Non-Forestry Production Environment

  • Chainsaw Use in Forestry Production

  • Forestry Operations – Health, Safety and Environment

  • Forestry Operations – Plant Plantation Trees

  • Forestry Operations – Log Scaling

Each one is NZQA-approved and earns nationally recognised credits — and a pathway to further training.

Why it makes sense for your business

  • Minimal time off site required.

  • Training happens onsite, in their environment, around their schedule.

  • Self-study via workbooks — straightforward and self-paced.

  • Builds a safer, more capable team.
