New Zealand Certificate in Apiculture
A one year residential training programme in beekeeping is available
at the Telford Rural Polytechnic. Trainees receive supervised
experience under commercial conditions, as well as being involved in
other agricultural and engineering activities. A bursary in support of
the programme is provided each year by the beekeeping industry trust
funds. The Certificate in Apiculture is also available to a selected
number of overseas students.
Correspondence Course
A two year self-study programme, leading to the New Zealand
Certificate in Apiculture, is also offered by Telford Rural
Polytechnic. The course consists of a series of written,
self-contained modules and several short courses held in different
venues around the country.
