New Zealand Certificate in Artificial Insemination of Livestock
NZQF Level 4

About the course

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the livestock industry with individuals who have the skills and knowledge to successfully artificially inseminate livestock.

Learners will benefit from gaining a set of skills which are highly valued in the livestock industry.

The agriculture industry will benefit from having qualified technicians to carry out artificial insemination of livestock. There is an economic benefit to individual farmers and the national economy from increased livestock production as a result of faster genetic gain through selectively using superior sires.

The community may benefit from the availability of part-time and supplementary employment in rural areas.

Graduates will be capable of operating independently within a broad framework of best practice.
