Historically regulators have been criticised by courts, commissions of enquiry, ministers and media when an examination of the regulator identifies a lack of competence, capability or professionalism amongst their staff.
Formal qualifications provide confidence to regulators that their staff meet recognised standards of competence. These are independent of the regulator or training provider and are externally moderated.
Skillful is an approved provider of the public sector compliance qualifications under the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) framework.
Skillful’s training programmes can be aligned and assessed against compliance qualifications on the NZQA framework, including:
2774 — New Zealand Certificate in Regulatory Compliance (Core Knowledge)
2775 — New Zealand Certificate in Regulatory Compliance (Operational Knowledge)
2776 — New Zealand Certificate in Regulatory Compliance (Operational Practice) (Level 4)
2777 — New Zealand Certificate in Regulatory Compliance with strands in Audit, Inspection, Investigation, and Operations
2778 — New Zealand Diploma in Regulatory Compliance Investigations (Level 6)
The Government Regulatory Compliance Qualifications Overview (part of the G-Reg Regulatory Practice Initiative) demonstrates how these NZQA qualifications link to the skills and competencies the government expects in regulatory staff.
Our training uses real-world experience, coupled with client-specific content, to actively engage adult learners, building the knowledge and skills regulatory staff need for successful regulatory practice.
Our NZQA assessment brings real-world experience to the assessment process giving organisations confidence that when trainees are assessed as having ‘achieved’ a unit standard, they have actually demonstrated competence in that topic.
We also do assessment against the NZQA Intelligence Qualifications.
