NZQA 4wd Safety Course

Post by mike »

Hi All,

I'm running an nzqa 4wd safety course for some lincoln university students next weekend (27th and 28th Oct) and have 3 available spots if anyone would like to do it. These are the unit standards OSH requires for workplace use of a 4wd. It is also a very good course for beginners learning how a 4wd works, the dynamics of 4wding in general and safety whilst 4wding.

Cheers

Hi Mike,
What is the cost of the course ??
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

Having just done this course I felt it well worth it, given that its subsidised you would be stupid not to do it :lol: all we need now is the chainsaw certificate thingy as well.

I have heard about the course ,
but have always been a bit busy.
If you hold another down here about March,
would like the chance to attend,
as I still have plenty to learn
Not what if, but why not

You can also do this through the Westcoast Polytech at greymouth. I did it several years ago. At least that way you get to go on No Name Rd to practice all you have learnt.
