Course Directors Introduction
SMS holds the Border Health and Ship Sanitation Certification Course annually (click to view the timetable and dates).  
 
There is a requirement for all attendees  to have completed the World Health Organization's Learning Program on Ship Sanitation Inspection and Issuance of Ship Sanitation Certificates and obtain the certificate of completion prior to the course. Failure to complete the pre-course requirements will make nominees ineligible to attend.
 
Everyone wishing to attend the course this year needs to:
  • Complete the WHO on-line training course (this may take up to four days but can be spread out to fit in with work demands. Te Whatu Ora will arrange access to this course through the WHO.)
  • Receive the Certificate of Completion
  • Visit a ship and participate in a Ship Sanitation Certification assessment (either alone or with an experienced Health Protection Officer)
  • The ship visit should be done prior to the commencement of the Border Health and Ship Sanitation Certification Course if possible, or within 3 months of completing the course.
Once nominations have been received the attendees will be sent an Admin Brief listing the pre-course reading . 

All students are required to read and become familiar with the following document:
