New Zealand Certificate in Forest Industry Foundation Skills with strands in Breaking Out, Establishment, Landing Operations, and Pruning

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the forest industry with individuals who have skills and knowledge relevant to entry-level roles in a commercial forestry operation (establishment and silviculture) or commercial harvesting operation.

Graduates will have a basic understanding of the industry and the hazardous nature of the industry. They will be able to work under close supervision to meet quality requirements of an operation while maintaining their own safety.

The qualification includes four strands which represent distinct activities within the forestry industry that are undertaken in either forestry operations or harvesting operations.

For more than 30 years, Regent Training Centre has been successful in helping to create options for students and trainees through education, support and mentoring. Our strengths lie in our commitment and dedication to improving the lives of all those that we work with. The first Regent Training Centre campus was based just outside of Whangarei, in Ngararatunua. What began with a small rural school housing just 2 classrooms, has steadily grown into 6 campuses across Northland and Auckland. While each campus may look different, they are all bound by an aim to see people achieve more than what they could hope for themselves. For many of our students, through no fault of their own, traditional learning environments have not worked.
