About the STMS(A)-NP warrant

The STMS(A)-NP warrant confirms successful completion of the STMS Category A workshop but cannot be used as a practising STMS warrant.

The next step to receiving your practising STMS(A) warrant

For those who need to be practising as an on-site STMS Cat A, there is additional mentoring and a practical assessment completed in a category A road environment.

Refresher

Waka Kotahi warrants are refreshed every 3 years.

To refresh a STMS Cat A warrant the holder will need to attend a STMS refresher workshop. This renews the non-practising warrant.

The practising STMS Cat A warrant is renewed once the STMS Cat A practical re-assessment has been successfully completed.

The practising warrant will expire on the same date as the non-practising warrant.
