Currently there is a requirement within the CMR 0003 specific to unit standards 27360 and 27361 that is no longer applicable due to the transfer of standard setting responsibilities from Skills Org to Ringa Hora. Therefore, until such time that a full review of all of Ringa Hora’s CMRs can be undertaken an interim ruling is in place.
Appendix 2 of CMR 0003 (Security Sector requirements for consent to assess under Criterion 6 Staff selection, appraisal and development) requires that organisations with Consent to Assess these two-unit standards must have policies and procedures to ensure that staff involved in delivery of training and/or assessment:
As Skills is no longer the standard setting body, this requirement around attending Skills-recognised courses is no longer applicable. As part of the planned CMR review, Ringa Hora will consider whether or not to include a similar course requirement or alternative such as a formalised credential requirement. Stakeholders will be invited to provide feedback on this at that time
In the interim organisations will still need to ensure staff are suitably trained to deliver training in managing conflict situations and their currency is maintained.
Ringa Hora develops and maintains qualifications and standards for the Armed Forces and Defence and their civilian staff who also protect the public.
These qualifications and standards include Intelligence and Regulatory Compliance which will equip learners for a wide range of roles in Government.
