Free Range Training Course
Free Range Training is available for the following NZOIA training courses:
The Free Range Training Courses occur when the trainee/s liaise directly with a NZOIA Assessor. The trainee negotiates the fee, time and location with the assessor. This provides the trainee with flexibility to have a training course at a convenient time and place. The Free Range model is ideal for organisations wanting to get a number of staff trained at the same time. It will also work for individuals and we suggest getting a few people together to attend the training with you for a greater learning experience and cost efficiency.
Each trainee pays NZOIA a fee of $50 per person to cover administration and assessor training and moderation costs. The NZOIA Assessor may include the $50 per person fee as part of their fees (they then pay this to NZOIA on your behalf), or you can pay the $50 fee separately – this is up to you and the assessor to decide how you wish to do this.
Process
Decide on a date, and have a few back-up options in case that date does not work for the assessor. NZOIA needs at least one months’ notice that the Training is taking place
Contact an NZOIA Assessor who holds Kayak 2 (and Canoe 1 if appropriate) to negotiate date, location and fee. Ask whether they will include the $50 NZOIA candidate fee in their fees or whether they want you to pay it separately to NZOIA.
Get the Assessor to send NZOIA a Course Request
If required, contact NZOIA to request an invoice for your NZOIA Free Range Training Course fee/s
Attend the Training Course
The Assessor will complete the reporting requirements and present you with a completion certificate
