Ian holds a Diploma in Business Studies (Public Sector Management) and a Graduate Diploma in Adult Learning and Teaching from Massey University. He came to CERT Systems in 2012 with more than 25 years’ experience in regulatory compliance roles with MAF and the Ministry of Fisheries. This work included major quota fraud and serious offence investigations and prosecutions. Ian also managed officer training, competency framework development and performance management process implementation for the Fisheries Compliance group.
Ian’s main focus with CERT Systems is training and assessment services for the NZQA Compliance Qualifications. As a working group member throughout the qualification framework and unit standards development, he was involved in drafting and checking most assessment guides and is a registered assessor for the qualification unit standards.
Ian is also an experienced facilitator for team building workshops. His understanding of the regulatory compliance environment and how effective compliance teams operate makes his workshop facilitation particularly effective.

"I notice after the training that the team are much more confident in dealing with conflict situations and I have seen a great improvement in interaction between them in multiple officer situations."
"Awesome course. Very relevant, interesting and informative. I will definitely use this very valuable information. It made me feel more comfortable in my job."
"The feedback from our staff indicates they have benefitted greatly from the course. There has been an overwhelming appreciation for the manner in which you conducted the course and presented all content. The staff also expressed their appreciation that all material presented was relevant to their day to day duties."
"I congratulate you on the course you have just run for HBRC. I have never heard so many positive comments about a course, and particularly a conflict management course. It was the first course where everyone who attended has recommended the course. HBRC will continue to use your services."
"This course has the power to be life-changing. The techniques taught have already been of significant assistance to me at home with my children. I’m a much happier person now at work and at home, and I feel well-equipped to be able to effectively communicate and manage conflict both personally and professionally."
"I just wanted to say thanks for the great course you delivered to us. All our rangers who attended thoroughly enjoyed the three days and say it was the best course they have ever attended."
