常见问题

Is there an official security guard exam in New Zealand?

No single government exam. You complete NZQA unit or skill standards with a training provider, then send your NZQA record to the PSPLA. This practice test checks the same knowledge; its 40-question, 80% mock is our own format.

Which unit standards do I need for a Certificate of Approval?

Crowd controllers, property guards and personal guards need 27364, 27360 and 27361 (12 credits). The new skill standards 40146, 40145 and 40147, or the New Zealand Certificate in Security Level 3 or 4, also count.

Can I work as a guard before I finish training?

Yes, with a temporary Certificate of Approval. It lasts 3 months. If you have not finished training by then, you must apply by mail for another one.

Will a criminal conviction stop me getting a certificate?

It can. Some grounds apply forever, such as ever being sentenced to imprisonment; others apply for 7 years. Grounds are not automatic, so declare them and ask the Authority to consider your situation.

Do bar staff need a Certificate of Approval?

Only if they act as crowd controllers as part of their job. Staff who only make drinks or clear tables do not.
