As Industry leaders our goal is to provide training and education programmes across a wide variety of fields. We strive to provide a high level of industry training and knowledge needed to ensure exemplary practice on site.
Sharing co-branded partnerships with industry specialists has aided us in ensuring we are developing best practice industry practitioners.
Through our education and training centres we aim to promote compliance of industry practice, which refers to the ability to work unsupervised, demonstrating knowledge and skills that reflect the productivity, uniformity, finish quality, interpretation of results, and material economies currently accepted within the industry.
Training courses are made up of shared global industry information, sourced from industry practitioners, specialists, instrument manufacturers, and recognised training establishments. This wealth of information has been gathered and compiled by our own company specialists and composed for delivery at NZ Industry level.
Our training facilitators also carry additional industry certified training and knowledge accreditation in key fields such as electromagnetics, ground penetrating radar, ultrasonics, surveying, engineering, gas inspection, thermography and various PPE safety practices.
Our ultimate goal is to assist in raising the standards of onsite practice all over the South Pacific through specialised training, development, service, certification, and quality technologies.
New Zealand's utility location industry body, Nulca NZ, is committed to making professional training and career development options accessible to anyone interested in the sector. If you are starting as a Locator, or you are a professional wanting to lift your skills or knowledge, you can contact NNZ for guidance on the options available to you.
