Accredited Persons Training
At IVS, we are committed to seeing New Zealand businesses succeed through the right biosecurity educational training, endorsed by our position as New Zealand’s leading transitional facility training provider.
At the front line of the biosecurity chain, keeping New Zealand free from unwanted pests and diseases, are accredited persons checking sea containers. Accredited persons are responsible for checking and managing contamination risks associated with imported sea containers. MAF Biosecurity NZ approved transitional facilities should have an accredited person on site or have access to an accredited person to avoid delays or extra charges when clearing goods.
To become accredited, you must undertake and pass a MAF Biosecurity NZ approved accredited person training course. IVS is an approved provider, certifying accredited persons through a half day training course, which focuses on:
- Procedures for unpacking sea containers and the necessary checks required
- How to approach sea container checks and complete the necessary documentation
- Contingency procedures in the event of finding contamination
- Updates to MAF Biosecurity NZ Standards, regulation and checking/reporting procedures
The Certificate of Approval as an Accredited Person is valid for 2 years before refresher training is required. Holding a valid certificate allows the accredited person to perform biosecurity checks on sea containers and complete log sheets at any approved transitional facility in New Zealand.
