When your worker enrols as an apprentice or learner, we assign them a Competenz account manager. Our account managers understand the forestry industry and the skills learners and businesses need
Forestry is an industry that offers great career opportunities. Find the one that fits you here.
Forestry harvesting involves a number of technical disciplines. Each discipline has a unique qualification and set of unit standards designed to develop competence and promote best practice on site.
Trainees may complete these qualifications individually and progress from one level to the next. Programme length varies but qualifications typically take from 9-18 months to complete.
Apprenticeships are also available in Harvesting. An apprenticeship programme will be built to reflect the various roles the apprentice has within the crew. The core learning from Forest Harvesting Operations (levels 3 and 4) are combined along with elective sets that allow for a range of units to be included. Apprentices have a longer term commitment to the industry and receive a greater level of support from Competenz.
Your Competenz account manager can discuss the best apprenticeship or training option for your business and your trainee.
The qualifications available are listed below.
