Add valuable highway engineering and applied management skills to your engineering qualification and take your career places. With the combination of specialised technical knowledge and management skills you will increase your career options and be able to gain sought after management roles.
The aim of the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering is to provide skilled and competent engineering technicians specialised in mechanical, civil, electrical or electronic engineering for the New Zealand engineering sector. Graduates will be capable of operating at a technician level scope of practice as outlined by the Dublin Accord (international Engineering Alliance, 2002).
Ensuring workplace safety in potentially explosive environments from the presence of gases, vapours, dusts and flammable materials is the key purpose of this qualification.
This qualification is designed for electricians, instrument technicians, mechanical and process workers who need to meet safety regulations in hazardous areas, now referred to as ‘explosive atmospheres.’
During the course, you’ll gain theoretical knowledge and find out how to apply safety principles, procedures, and statutory requirements to safely enter and operate an explosive atmospheres site. These include, but are not limited to, oil and gas and petrochemical industries, dairy industries and other industries that have gases, vapors, dusts or flammable products on site.
This qualification is only offered through WITT, and is available to students throughout New Zealand, including in-house training.
