Beginning a career as an Audiometrist
Currently there is no New Zealand-based qualification available in Audiometry, but you can complete the Diploma in Audiometry as an online course, through either the Australian College of Audiometry (AuCA) or TAFE (which is also based in Australia).
The Diploma in Audiometry reflects the role of audiometrists who conduct hearing assessments to identify hearing impairment and take appropriate action based on the test results. They may refer clients for further audiological or medical assessment and be involved in care management. Audiometrists prescribe and dispense hearing aids and/or other listening devices to assist in hearing rehabilitation. Audiometrists may work in medical or industrial contexts or as independent practitioners.

It is also possible to become an Audiometrist if you have a Bachelor's level Degree in Audiology from overseas.
