For Bronwyn Somers and her team at the Aviation Security Service (AVSEC), training solutions that are flexible, compliant and run by expert facilitators are non-negotiable. For 3 years, IMNZ has delivered her team training that fits this mould..
WHAT COURSES OR TRAINING DID YOU COMPLETE?
IMNZ provides AVSEC with the NZ Certificate in Adult Tertiary Teaching Level 4 (previously known as NZ Certificate in Adult Education, Level 4).
“From day one, IMNZ has provided our team with a cost-effective training programme, tailored to our needs and provides our training staff with a recognised qualification on the NZQA framework,”
explains Bronwyn.
“Their expert facilitators are NZQA accredited for these courses and are willing to meet us wherever we need them.”
The support provided by IMNZ has allowed the AVSEC training team to offer every employee critical professional development – keeping their staff engaged and ready to handle industry challenges.
WHY DID AVSEC CHOOSE TO PARTNER WITH IMNZ?
As a government organisation, Bronwyn works with a number of external training providers. For her, IMNZ has provided a level of support and flexibility that is outstanding in the New Zealand market.
When tragedy struck in Christchurch in March 2019, AVSEC Explosive Detector Dog Units (EDDU) from around the country assisted at Christchurch airport and provided additional resource support for NZ Police. That same week, AVSEC had planned a group training session for the NZCATT programme which would not be running again for another year.
As soon as IMNZ heard that one of the AVSEC EDDU members was in CHCH and couldn’t attend the training, they were quick to offer an individual replacement session free of charge.
“The way IMNZ rose to the occasion was outstanding and it meant our team member could get the qualification in his expected time frame. It’s these kinds of moments that show how IMNZ is willing to go above and beyond for its clients.”
HOW HAS TRAINING WITH IMNZ IMPACTED YOUR ORGANISATION?
Having IMNZ in our corner has had huge implications for our business. Our employees are equipped to handle every situation with their certification. This means we are confident in their skills and they are empowered to make the right call, every time.
READY TO BUILD YOUR NEXT TRAINING PROGRAMME?
When asked if she would recommend IMNZ to other organisations in her industry, Bronwyn had no hesitation.
“I would absolutely suggest IMNZ. They continue to deliver exactly what we need in exactly the way we want it. This relationship results in critical staff qualifications and the IMNZ team is always willing to go the extra mile for us.”
