National Certificate in Sport-Officiating – Level 3
What is this National Certificate in Sport?
Starting in September 2014, Touch NZ entered into an agreement with Skills Active Aotearoa, whereby our current Level One and Level Two referee courses have now been benchmarked to NZQA standards. This means that our referees who come to meet those standards will be cross credited to achieve a National Certificate in Sport-Officiating - Level 3, providing they have attained the age of 16 years.
Who are Skills Active Aotearoa
Skills Active Aotearoa is New Zealand’s Industry Training Organisation (ITO) for the recreation, sport and
fitness industries. They are a government-funded organisation and their role is to develop and facilitate
world-class, nationally recognised qualifications that meet the needs of your business.
That means providing employers and business owners with solutions for qualifying their staff through
recognising the training and experience they provide their staff on the job. These solutions provide value
to their business and a competitive edge in the marketplace.
