Discharge Measurement - Hydrology (Micro-Credential)
NZQF Level 5

About the course

The purpose of this micro-credential is to provide the Primary Industry sector with individuals who hold the skills and knowledge to perform streamflow measurements in rivers and streams shallow enough to be waded. This includes the application of appropriate measurement methodologies when carrying out measurement activities on site, use of measurement equipment, and data management (collecting, filing and reporting). This is achieved by supporting learners with both on-job and off-job learning, allowing learning to be applied in a practical way, across a range of situations, within the learner's role in the workplace.

Entry requirements

It is recommended that learners have a minimum of 6 months experience within the Hydrology industry before entering this programme.
