Summary of review and consultation process

Graduates and employers were surveyed about the qualifications. The Roadmarkers’ Federation, who represent roadmarking contractors and employers and Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency who set specifications, codes of practice, and guidelines for the roadmarking industry, were consulted during the review.

Industry consultation was conducted via email, virtual meetings, a questionnaire on the Connexis website and the assessor quarterly and Infrastructure E-newsletter.

The Reference Group of industry technical advisers considered the responses and a consultation feedback summary report was published on the Connexis website to allow for further feedback.
