Training courses

NIWA offers a range of courses, presented at different venues according to need and the level of interest.

They can also include in-house training on the premises of the agency requiring the course.

The NIWA training courses available are listed below. 

The courses are only held if there is sufficient demand (e.g. electric fishing has a minimum of six people). NIWA also runs courses on request tailored to your needs. If your organisation has specific training needs please email [email protected], to discuss them.
