Introduction
CAP Crew SAR Training Syllabus & Training Record
This book is used to record volunteer CAP Crew Members progression through the CNZ CAP Crew SAR Training Syllabus. PURPOSE The syllabus sets out the minimum standards expected of a CAP Crew Member. Units may increase the standard expected of crew members according to local requirements by nominating more stringent assessments. Unit Training Officers are to complete the practical aspects and upgrade the SAR Database (or advise the Regional Office accordingly who will update the SAR Database). It should also be noted where increased standards have been put into effect.

RESOURCES The syllabus makes use of a range of resources to train Crew Members including the CNZ SAR Crew Modules, Coastguard Boating Education and external agencies (e.g. First Aid Courses). Guidelines are also provided in the syllabus for internal training. AIR TIME CAP Crew Members are encouraged to have their air time logged on the pages provided at the back of this book.

TIME FRAMES There are no maximum or minimum time frames recommended for Crew Members to successfully complete the syllabus. It is anticipated, however, that a reasonable period might be 3-9 months at any level; the Crew Members attitude and application and the Units training progamme, will ultimately determine how quickly a Crew Member progresses through the levels. OTHER TRAINING Crew Members should include documentation of any other training that supports their qualification as a CAP Crew Member. A page for recording this information appears at the back of this book.
