A bander can be certified at different levels for different species groups with additional restrictions. For example, you could be:
All Level 2 and Level 3 banders must meet key competencies as listed in the NZNBBS competencies list. Mist-netting (Level 2 and Level 3), cannon-netting (Level 3 only) and transponder insertion are also part of this certification system and follow the same format and guidelines.
Level 2 and 3 banding competencies.
All banders, including Level 1 trainee banders, need to register with the NZNBBS for the species you are, or would like to be, working on. You'll be informed of changes, training opportunities, banding updates, equipment offers, etc, through a newsletter.
