Re-registrations Status

This report monitors the progress and sign-off details of electronic PLPC re-registrations for both applicants and
assessors, ensuring compliance throughout the process.

Purpose of the report
It tracks the status of electronic PLPC (Pool Lifeguard Practice Certificate) re-registrations for workplace
assessors and applicants.

It is specifically for electronic submissions only—paper-based submissions are excluded.

Key functions

  1. Monitor progress of re-registration

Shows whether a re-registration is:

    • Completed
    • Sent to Assessor
    • Or still in progress

  1. Provide sign-off details

    Displays dates and times when:

    • The Assessor signed the form

  2. Confirm compliance

Once completed, the status can be confirmed in NZRRP.

Important notes:

  • The report lists re-registrations for one month following the re-registration date, after which they are
    removed
  • It helps workplaces ensure that all PLPC renewals are processed and signed off correctly by both parties.

Why it’s useful

  • Transparency: Everyone involved can see the current status
  • Accountability: Tracks who signed and when
  • Compliance: Ensures professional standards are met for ongoing registration.
