NZQA 4wd Safety Course

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.

Having just done this course I felt it well worth it, given that its subsidised you would be stupid not to do it

all we need now is the chainsaw certificate thingy as well.

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.
