Wintec is New Zealand's leading training provider in arboriculture. As an arboriculture student, you will work on real projects, go on field trips, carry out pruning and felling operations, use small machinery, plant out vegetation, and learn all the rigging and tree climbing skills safely.
Our landscape design and construction programmes are project-based, meaning you will work with real clients on real projects, putting what they learn into practice. Landscape projects involve both design and construction, each with its own specialist field and focus.
