The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2016.
Summary of
review and consultation process
The tissue converting qualifications were first
registered in 1999, reviewed in 2004 and were due for review in 2012. In January 2011 Forest Industries Training
and Education Council (FITEC) initiated an early review of the tissue
converting qualifications at the request of the sector operating committee.
Advisory group meetings were held to address
qualification requirements. The advisory
group included representatives from the two large manufacturing sites in
Hamilton and Kawerau, owned and operated by SCA Hygiene Australasia and a
subject matter expert.
Further consultation has taken place since the initial review
meetings to develop the strategic purpose statement, outcome statement, and
specification for each qualification.
Competenz took over standard setting responsibility and the role and
qualification developer for this sector in April 2013 following a merger with
FITEC.

General transition
The
above qualifications were reviewed in 2012, and have now been designated expiring. No
new enrolments will be accepted, and the last date to meet their
requirements is 31 December 2014 at which point the qualifications will be
designated discontinued.
People
currently working towards one of the replaced qualifications may either
complete the requirements for that qualification by 31 December 2014 or
transfer their results to the replacement qualification.
It is anticipated that no existing
candidates will be disadvantaged by these transition arrangements.
However, anyone who feels that they have been disadvantaged may appeal to
Competenz at the address below. Appeals
will be considered on a case by case basis.
