We have three different ways of presenting CIMS3 training:

• On line via Zoom or Teams (six hours of on line training)

• On line via videos (self-paced learning through six+ hours of custom videos)

• Face-to-face (six hours  of face-to-face training)

​

The courses can be taught with an Incident Level, or an Coordination Centre level emphasis – depending on the attendees. The video option will allow people to have a good look at both.

No matter which type of training a learner enrols in, they will be able to obtain NZQA certification for unit standard 32158 (Demonstrate basic knowledge of CIMS)
