The Association administers training in the ministerial duties of Justices of the Peace through the following:
Training is provided to nominee Justices of the Peaces who have attended a court interview and have been provisionally approved to attend initial training in ministerial duties. Induction training consists of a one-day training session which is preceded by online preparatory tasks and concludes with an online assessment overseen by Royal Federation. During the course of Induction training Nominees are tested regularly throughout the day to determine their preparedness to attempt the On Line Assessment. Nominees who pass the online assessment are recommended by the Minister for appointment as a Justice of the Peace by the Governor-General.
A series of Refresher courses including Statutory Declarations, Private Citizenship Ceremonies and a General Quiz was held in February – May this year.
During the period June to September 2018 the Association will be conducting a further series of Refreshers at 9 Hubs throughout the region. Details will be advised in Newsletters. They are also available from Support Group Coordinators or by contacting the Training Coordinator trainer@jpauckland.org.nz

3. Accreditation
We suggest that all members achieve Accreditation. It is particularly important for those members who work on Service Desks.
If you would like assistance to achieve Accreditation please contact your Support Group or the Training Team.
Access to the online Accreditation test is from the Royal Federation website.(www.jpfed.org.nz) Before attempting the Accreditation test it is essential that members are aware of their login and password that will give them access to this website. If you do not have them please request from: administrator@jpfed.org.nz. We strongly recommend that members review their Justice of the Peace Ministerial Manual before attempting the test.
Training is undertaken by all Support Groups on the basis of their members’ needs. All Support Groups are encouraged to designate their own training spokespersons who liaise with the Association’s Training Coordinator, Garry Nicholls. In this way training by Support Groups can maintain consistency. Training provided earlier in the year at district seminars or refresher courses can be re-presented at Support Group meetings.
