What can I expect out of this qualification?

The purpose of this six-week micro-credential is to establish occupational scuba diving skills and recognised certification for learners with some recreational diving experience who seek employment that requires diving competence within police, marine archaeology, scientific research, media, and engineering inspection diving. ADAS Occupational Scuba is the minimum qualification required for employment in these areas and meets requirements for the appropriate NZ Certificate of Competence that is a requirement for employment in NZ. It may also lead to further training in ADAS Occupational SSBA 30m.
