Purpose
This stand alone qualification recognises the knowledge and skills required to perform the
duties of a transport officer within the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA).
The qualification is designed to increase professionalism and qualify employees within the
road transport compliance and regulatory management sector by recognising the skills
required by these role holders. People who achieve this qualification will be able to carry
out compliance, regulatory management, and advisory responsibilities within NZTA; know
the extent of their powers and the procedures they must follow: and be able to
communicate appropriately in a road transport compliance and regulatory management
context.
The compulsory section covers a range of generic communication and compliance skills
which are relevant across a range of compliance contexts and roles, and which are
included in other compliance qualifications. It also contains standards which can help
candidates progress to the National Certificate in Business (First Line Management)
(Level 4) [Ref: 0649].
The elective section contains a range of prosecution, writing, negotiation, driver licensing,
generic management, and adult education knowledge and skills that are widely applicable
in the road transport industry. This section allows candidates to select the most
appropriate standards for their role as a transport officer.
Special Notes
Recognition of current competence: Many officers already working in compliance and
regulatory management will already have the competence in the outcomes specified in
individual standards in this qualification. Those people are able to seek recognition of
current competence through workplace assessors or accredited providers.
