Learn new outdoor skills and gain NZQA qualifications

Te Korowai o Waiheke is a charitable trust established by the local community to eradicate predators from the beautiful Waiheke Island. The first stage of the project is a stoat eradication island-wide. The second stage is a series of rat operational trials to understand how to remove rats from the whole of Waiheke.

What we are offering: Te Korowai o Waiheke would like to offer an opportunity to those who whakapapa to Ngāti Paoa to do a 2-day NMIT Predator trapping course in March in South Auckland, and a 2-day Outdoor First Aid course in Central Auckland. Also included is a one-day paid work placement on Waiheke Island, working alongside our trappers. 

There are limited spaces available for these courses, and people must commit to doing all 5 days of the training.

What will you get out of this? You'll receive NZQA qualifications for both the 2-day trapping course and 2-day outdoor first aid course, and you'll get to spend a day on Waiheke Island, paid to trap alongside our experienced trappers, and see the practical side of what you’ve learned. You'll be able to take these valuable skills back to your own whare, marae, and community, or maybe join us at Te Korowai on Waiheke Island or any of the many predator trapping groups around Aotearoa.
