Online programme.

A career in the aquaculture industry starts here with NMIT’s introductory qualification that prepares you for work or further study.

Aquaculture 500x333

Aquaculture is the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, plants, algae and other organisms in all types of water environments.

It is the world’s fastest-growing primary sector, which means there’s high demand for skilled workers.

If you want to work in an innovative industry that’s helping to feed the world and protect ocean and freshwater ecosystems, a career in aquaculture is for you.

This course will cover the fundamentals of sustainable aquaculture systems, hatchery management, and fish farming.

As a graduate, you will be prepared to undertake further study, leading to a range of exciting jobs at aquaculture farms, on boats, or in scientific research organisations.

You’ll get a practical, hands-on education at NMIT with a blend of classroom lessons, field trips, and time spent on-site with industry.

Nelson is where most of New Zealand’s aquaculture production and research takes place, making it a great place to study.

This programme is also delivered online for learners nationwide and can be delivered directly in workplaces across Te Tauihu. See below for more information.
