Goal of this project
Put together a total of 4 courses or 120 points that will lead to a registration for the position of Environmental Health Officer or Health Protection Officer. This might be four more 15 point courses to add to 403 and 460. This required courses will be designed in accordance with the NZ Ministry of Health/agencies that are involved in environmental registrations.
Actions
Arrange to meet with an agency person as soon as possible to determine what content is needed to cover, and the steps necessary to lead to accreditation.
Previously, either Massey or Vic did this at a post graduate level, but would not let in international students. I believe it is now a 3 year undergrad diploma.
Need to find out what is necessary to make this a post-grad pathway for people seeking a career change or for international students.
Resources
lists the universities that offer training under ‘how to enter the job”. None of these are on the South Island.
