NZQF Level 3

About the course

This certificate is an entry level qualification for people working for the New Zealand Customs Service as a Customs Officer and is designed to be achievable by a Customs Officer in their first work area.

The purpose of the qualification is to provide recognition for base level skills across roles in the New Zealand Customs Service.

The core component of the qualification recognises underpinning skills, knowledge, and competence expected of all Customs Officers.

The elective section of this qualification provides a degree of flexibility and allows for recognition of the diverse range of skills relevant to the range of border management activities carried out by the New Zealand Customs Service.

This qualification shares a number of standards in common with the National Certificate in Border Management Customs (Level 4) with strands in Customs General, Trade Assurance, and Investigations and Response [Ref: 1592]. The Level 4 qualification is aligned to the skills and competencies required of a Senior Customs Officer and entails experience in at least two work areas.

It is recommended that this Level 3 qualification be completed before the National Certificate Border Management (Customs) (Level 4) with strands in Customs General, Trade Assurance, and Investigations and Response [Ref: 1592].
