National Certificate in Compliance and Regulatory Control (Animal Control) (Level 2) [Ref: 0532]

 

The Local Government Industry Organisation (LGITO) has completed the review of the qualification listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          April 2009

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2014.

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

LGITO held a meeting with the Animal Control Advisory Group in December 2007.  The make up of the Advisory Group included Executive members of the NZ Institute of Animal Control Officers (NZIACO), and representatives from Christchurch City Council, Tasman District Council, Upper Hutt City Council, Tauranga City Council, and a Contractor representing several Auckland Local Authorities.  Assessors and Moderators were also consulted.

 

Feedback from the industry indicated that the qualification no longer met the needs of the industry and required updating.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

Feedback from the stakeholders indicated that standards 3488 and 3491 were not appropriate for the level 2 qualification.  As a consequence, standards 3488 and 3491 were removed from the qualification and four new standards were added to the qualification to reflect changes in industry practice and legislation.
