Summary of review and consultation process

 

The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Hospitality sector qualifications, part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ). The mandatory review involved extensive consultation with stakeholders working in and with the industry.  Consultation included meetings to discuss the need to review the qualifications, and subsequent meetings considered the proposed content of the qualifications.

 

Industry confirmed the on-going need for a suite of qualifications in this area that would recognise graduate capabilities and provide an education pathway for trainees.

 

The existing National qualifications have been replaced by New Zealand qualifications, as detailed below.
