The NZCF is now able to offer cadets recognised New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) credits for part of our training programme. The credits, or unit standards, form the National Certificate in Cadet Forces (Foundation Skills) – Level Two. Some of these credits may be used towards meeting the requirements of NCEA levels One to Three.
Cadets can now receive formal recognition for the training they undertake through cadets. The subject areas our training programme with Unit Standards attached to them are:
Boat Knowledge
Leadership
Risk Management
Cadet Force Knowledge
Lifeskills
Sailing
Drill
Outboard Engines
Sea Survival & Sea Safety
Firearms Training
Physical Training
Seamanship
General Service Knowledge
Radio Procedures
Sea Navigation
Weather
Cadets wishing to participate need to be registered with the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) of the NZQA. There is a minimal cost associated with this initiative that cadets will be responsible for. This is only payable when you start working towards particular credits.
