Waka Kotahi discontinued the inspector warrant at of 30 June 2025. All warrants remain valid until expiry date.
Elite Safety Training, as an NZQA-approved Private Training Establishment (PTE), now delivers a programme that can be suitable to replace the Inspector Warrant, under the new TTM Credentials Framework. However the scope for this programme has expanded. This nationally recognised programme is delivered as the above micro-credential.
Our training is tailored to your industry, making it as relevant and practical as possible for your role.
