We are working to develop two new irrigation micro-credentials for the irrigation industry. The proposed Level 5 micro-credentials would make up part of the accreditation for Irrigation NZ’s Blue Tick.

January 2024: Two reviewed unit standards and one new unit standard have been evaluated and approved by NZQA (above). Three proposed micro-credentials on these topics were submitted to NZQA in December 2023. Now that the unit standards have been approved, evaluation can begin for the micro-credentials.
