The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2019.
The review, started in 2011 and completed in 2013, occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Food Processing sector qualifications, part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ). The mandatory review involved extensive consultation with stakeholders working in and with the industry. These included the Meat Processing Sector Management Group made up of industry and provider representatives and the Technical Working Groups who provided specialist input on each of the sectors included in the qualifications structure. 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The existing National qualifications have been replaced by New Zealand qualifications, as detailed below.
