Security - Development of new skill standards for the Certificate of Approval

An Update following the process of Consultation

Development of three new skill standards and review of the Certificate of Approval unit standards

Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council has reviewed 3-unit standards in the Security Staff Services domain and are proposed to be expired December 2026.

Development of skill standards to replace unit standards 27360, 27361, and 27364 commenced in February 2024.  These standards are associated with the Certificate of Approval (CoA) for private security work, and any new standards will require regulation change from the Ministry of Justice.  An application for revision and rollover of the existing unit standards, for two years as an interim measure, has been approved by NZQA.
