Summary of review and consultation process
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Galvanizing qualifications, part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ). The mandatory review involved extensive consultation with industry stakeholders. Consultation included working group meetings to determine the need to review the qualifications and to consider the proposed content of the replacement qualifications.
Industry confirmed the ongoing need for galvanizing qualifications 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The existing National qualifications have been replaced by New Zealand qualifications, as detailed below.
Main changes resulting from the review
- The Level 2, 3 and 4 national qualifications will expire.
- New Level 3 and 4 qualifications have been developed to reflect industry requirements and increase attainability.
- The Level 3 qualification has been aligned with the industry requirements for new entrant employees.
- The Level 4 qualification has been aligned with the industry requirements for competent operators who may specialise in one or more galvanizing process strands.
