**Coastguard Marine Training Matrix Audit **
Maritime New Zealand audit our training process on a regular basis. This involves auditing our records and understanding how we manage the process of training our volunteers. Southern Region's last audit was in May 2015 and we received the first clean audit for Coastguard - this means there were no non conformities or observations in the report.

Leadership Training
This course is paid for by NZSAR with SARACE funding and has been very popular over the past couple of years. We are keen on providing this opportunity available to our volunteers. The course itself has a good mix between theory and practical application of leadership which can be used not only in Coastguard but in other areas such as: your workplace, at home with your family etc.

Leadership is touched on in some of our Coastguard training modules but this course explores in depth numerous subjects like: What is leadership, types of leadership styles, conflict management, morale, discipline, building a team, the teams life-cycle, decision making and problem solving, functional leadership, team motivation, trust, briefing and debriefing, communication and critical incident stress.

The ideal volunteer who would benefit from this course are your leaders ie Masters, President, UTO’s, USO’s, Crew Managers and Coastguard Instructors, also volunteers in your Unit that could be the stars and leaders of the future.

First Aid Training
All Coastguard volunteers are required to have first aid training which covers the following unit standards: 6400, 6401 and 6402 or 6400, 26551 and 26552. This is the Comprehensive First Aid Certificate (not the workplace which does not cover 6400).

This is because under the Maritime Regulation Part 35, which the Coastguard marine qualification framework is authorised by Maritime NZ, these unit standards are required for the Skipper Restricted Limits qualification.
