E hara tāku toa i te toa takitahi, he toa takitini
My strength is not as an individual but as a collective
Delivery of our regional AHA training is coordinated by the South Island Workforce Development Hub (SIWDH) and supported by an Allied Health Project Lead. The training is based in the workplace, and uses the Careerforce New Zealand Certificate in Health & Wellbeing (Level 3) qualification. Much of the learning is self-directed, but also requires support for the local team of health professionals, as the trainees are required to demonstrate some tasks/behaviours as part of their assessment. AHA trainees are supported locally by their assigned Assessor, and in some services a local training coordinator. Careerforce Work Place Advisors (CWAs) provide support for Assessors and trainees. Our Assessors are all very experienced, and are familiar with the content of, and resources that support the training, and as such can be your local go to people. Contact information for each DHB is available via the link below:
For all other queries please contact Richard McKinlay Allied Health Programme Facilitator SIWDH

South Island Regional AHA Training Plans
We have developed agreed regional training plans from the list of compulsory and elective Unit Standards available as part of these programmes. This lists all the Unit Standards (US) completed by AHAs during their training, the order in which they are completed, and meet the required 70 credits for the completion of the NZ Certificate in Health & Wellbeing (Level 3).
Copies of current training plans are available from the AH Programme Facilitator.
Additional training plans can be designed to support the development of new and emerging assistant/support worker roles that involve support for Allied Health Professionals.
