With the introduction of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002 there has been a significant paradigm shift from personnel being simply "trained" to statutory requirements for competence.
To support organisations in meeting their requirements for competently trained personnel Tai Poutini Polytechnic through the Emergency Management Department (EMANZ) provide a continuum of NZQA accredited training.

Diploma in Applied Emergency Management Level 6New for 2010. The Diploma in Applied Emergency Management is a new qualification for those seeking to enter the emergency management field or develop their skills and knowledge in this area. “Emergency management is the managerial function charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters” (IAEM).
The qualification has been developed in conjunction with international and domestic experts in emergency management and enables students to use their own country or another country of their choice for many of the topic areas ensuring a truly global perspective in contemporary emergency management.
The programme is delivered part time over a two, three or four year period with papers comprising short block courses and distance/online activities. It is anticipated that block courses will be attended by international students, further adding to the diversity of discussion and learning.
