New Zealand Certificate in Sustainable Aquaculture level 3
A career in the aquaculture industry starts here with NMIT’s introductory qualification that prepares you for work or further study.
At NMIT we feel it is important for our students to gain as much insight not only into our programmes but the career opportunities that can lead from them and what a normal workday may consist of.
Go here if you'd like to know more about the Aquaculture industry and what you could learn with NMIT.
You will become familiar with the key aspects of the aquaculture industry and learn how to build functioning systems to house aquatic animals and then see them develop through key stages of their life cycle. The monitoring and recording of water quality that you carry out will be key to support these animals through their growth.
You will also be able to identify workplace hazards and demonstrate compliance with Health and Safety practices.
This programme uses a blended learning model, including practical hands-on classes, field trips and time spent on-site with industry.
Upon completion, you will be awarded New Zealand Certificate in Aquaculture (Hatchery) level 3.
The programme is also designed to enable you to pursue further study in this field.
