Driver licence and any driver licence endorsement is to be held as appropriate to the machine or vehicle being used.

The course requires a level of fitness to demonstrate competency for the skill being trained.

NOTE: Delivered under the NZQA accreditation of the New Zealand Sport Turf Institute.

• Where initial assessment shows consistent competency in some areas time will be diverted to areas requiring improvement.
• Where learners are already mowing but wish to gain accreditation or improve their skills this course is designed to create as minimal disruption to production as practical. New staff are initially trained then buddied up to gain experience during a longer assessment and improvement phase. This is done in partnership with the relevant company delegate.
• The unit standard is a Level Three course and requires a consistent level of production mowing balanced with knowledge of mowing plant set-up, machinery operation and safety.
• A post-course report will raise concerns on any individual requiring special on-going tuition / guidance to reach a safe and productive operating level. VHNZ will work with anyone requiring on-going training or experience prior to reaching a competent level.
• Evidence is required for at least two of the following mower types – walk-behind reel, walk-behind rotary, front-mounted, mid-mounted, trailing.
