RRANZ offers a pathway to complete a recognition of prior learning (RPL) and recognition of current capability (RCC) process in place of attending the Response and Recovery Leadership Development Programme (RRLDP).
The NZQA website states that:
“Skills and knowledge can be gained in many ways. From formal learning toward a qualification or informal learning, independent study, work, and life experience.
Recognition of learning for credit is where your existing skills and knowledge (gained through your prior learning) can be assessed for credit, for example, toward a qualification or programme.
Recognising learning for credit enables learners to progress more easily in their education and career, taking their formal and non-formal skills and knowledge along with them, and not having to repeat training for what they already know or can do.”
While RRANZ provides excellent professional development options for Emergency Management leaders, we also believe it is important that previous experience is recognised and validated.
For potential candidates, there are four options to choose from as a pathway towards gaining an RPL/RCC certification.
- Apply for Transition course to Tier One Parts One and Two
- Apply for RCC for Tier One Part One
- Apply for RCC for Tier One Part Two
- Apply for RCC for Tier One Parts One and Two
