The Response and Recovery Leadership Development Programme Tier One is made up of two parts:
- Part 1 - a seven-week online interactive course, and
- Part 2 - a 4.5-day face-to-face blended course.
There are seven online modules covering the following topics:
- Introduction
- A changing world
- Managing self
- Key partnerships and relationships
- Leadership concepts and principles
- People in disasters
- Governance and political layers
Each online module will involve two to four hours of reading/videos, and a one-hour online tutorial session. Some weeks may require more time than others. This time estimate is for the compulsory course content. Many modules contain additional material clearly marked as optional.
Online tutorial sessions are held once a week. Each session will involve a one-hour discussion with guided questions from the session facilitator. Students are required to attend a minimum of four tutorial sessions.
There is an assessment at the end of this course. You must successfully pass this before you can move on to Part 2.
Part 1 fees: $995.00 (excl.gst)
This course is held over four and a half consecutive days. It includes interactive learning sessions, hazard-specific response and recovery leadership exercises, and written assignments.
The course aligns with the RRANZ Leadership Capability Framework, covering contemporary topics in the Emergency Management sector.
Part 2 fees: $3,995.00 (excl.gst)

RRANZ understands there are many reasons that can lead to participants needing to cancel or transfer their participation in our courses. Unfortunately, it may not be possible for your place on the programme to be filled by another participant at short notice, resulting in costs being incurred by RRANZ that cannot be recouped. The following administration fees and time frames for refund percentages are based upon the likelihood of your place being filled by another participant.
Commitment to participate in RRANZ courses brings with it the expectation that the employing organisation has made adequate arrangements to ensure that participants will be available throughout the course.
