Binding and Finishing review and consultation process
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Print 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.
A decision was made to not have a specific binding and finishing qualification at Level 2, recognising that Level 2 usually covers generic industry employee skills and that different education pathways are being developed for Level 1 and two learners with a focus on vocation options within NCEA.
The existing national qualifications have been replaced by New Zealand qualifications, as detailed below.

Print review and consultation process
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Print 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.
As with Binding and Finishing it was identified that a Level two qualification was no longer required, and that one Level 3 and one Level 4 qualifications would recognise the range of capabilities of graduates, while providing an appropriate education pathway.
