We are a Category 1 Tertiary Education Provider for NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority) under the provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020. In 2022 NZQA completed an External Evaluation and Review with Devereux-Blum Training and we are very proud of our efforts and results, we achieved the highest ratings in all categories with no recommendations.

The Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021 (the Code) highlights the standards of wellbeing and safety for learners. This code requires Devereux-Blum Training and Development to:
- Support learner’s wellbeing (physically and mentally) and safety through a whole-of-Provider approach.
- Foster a positive learning environment across diverse learner groups (ethnicity, gender, social and cultural networks).
- Provide a pathway to engage with the learner voice.
- Honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi
- Provide a clear complaints and disputes resolution process.
Outcomes 1 and 2 focus on education providers taking a whole of provider approach to learner wellbeing and safety, and that learner voice is embedded into the organisation.
Outcomes 3 and 4 focus on wellbeing and safety practices for all tertiary providers and relate to physical and digital learning environments.
Outcomes 5 to 12 focus on student accommodation and international students.
Devereux-Blum Training and Development undertake a yearly self-review to confirm that we are continuing to meet the requirements of the code. Following this, we submit an attestation to NZQA. Our 2023 and 2024 reviews are available on request. Please email Sharyn. This review gives us the opportunity to ensure we, as an organisation, are giving our learners a voice and that we are looking after their training needs.
We have been training organisation’s and people in Emergency Management for over 27 years. We are proud that in that time no critical incidents or complaints have been received or lodged.
