New Zealand Certificate in Infrastructure Works (Level 2)

The New Zealand Certificate in Infrastructure Works – Level 2 (IW2) is the first step in your career within the Civil Infrastructure Industry. It will give you the skills and knowledge to work safely onsite and with others, under direct supervision.

This qualification is for you if you are starting out in your career and have recently started working within the industry. You may have come from school, another industry or already be employed in the industry without a qualification. 

It is ideal if you are a labourer working under direct supervision in:

• Civil works 
• Rural contracting 
• Surfacing 
• Underground utilities
