Reliable identification of defects is vital to the proper functioning of NZ Transport Agency (NZTA), formerly Land Transport New Zealand (LTNZ) Road Assessment and Maintenance Management system. NZIHT trains all of this country’s RAMM Condition Raters directly. Successful workshop participants receive a Practising Certificate enabling them to undertake condition rating surveys of sealed roads on NZTA funded works on State Highways and Local Authority roads. NZIHT welcomes inquiries for training from anyone wishing to be trained as a rater. The Institute maintains a register of currently certified sealed road raters for public inspection and will on request provide details to road controlling authorities prior to acceptance of any professional services tender for RAMM road condition.
Topics include:
- Condition rating parameters
- Road rating sections and locations
- Defect identification
- Data recording
- Field validation exercises
- Competency assessment for certification
On completion of this course participants will have the knowledge to:
- Understand rating parameters
- Identify and locate rating sections and inspection lengths accurately
- Identify rated defects in sealed surfaces
- Accurately measure and record defects in sealed surfaces
- Obtain a practising certificate as an accredited rater

Any person wishing to undertake RAMM condition rating surveys on sealed roads for NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) subsidised work. Two Day Course
New Raters (with less than 2 years experience) are required to:
- attend the full two day RAMM Condition Rating Workshop
