Water and Environmental Sampling
Correct sampling practices are essential to many businesses. NZWETA has developed a Sampling course to teach the principles and practices behind taking and transporting representative samples for testing.
This is not to question laboratory activities but to highlight the inadequacies with sampling and sample collection in the water quality and environmental industry before the samples actually get to the laboratory.
The Sampling course introduces water quality, environmental, and wastewater compliance monitoring with an option to achieve NZQA unit standards. The course includes practical assessment and verification of competency.

Course content covers:
- Introduction to the importance of sampling
- Requirements of the Drinking Water Standards for NewZealand
- Introduction to characteristics of environmental and wastewaters
