Approved operators and training requirements
PoFA operator delegates must complete a PoFA operator training course which focuses on biosecurity responsibilities of operators, and their role in managing a PoFA, its facilities, arrangements, and approvals.
For information on locations and dates of training courses, email Learning.Development@mpi.govt.nz
If you have approved Transitional Facilities (TFs) within your PoFA, ensure training requirements of the TFs are met, including having an adequate number of trained accredited people.
