ServiceIQ has completed the review of the qualifications listed above.
New Zealand Certificate in Distribution (Level 3) with optional strand in Mechanised Goods Handling [Ref: 2572]
New Zealand Certificate in Distribution (Level 4) [Ref: 2573]
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2019.
The Targeted Review of Qualifications obligated the review of existing qualifications in the Distribution domain. ServiceIQ took a lead role in the process. Consultation was held under the guidance of a governance group comprising ServiceIQ and industry stakeholders. After consultation the group determined strategic purpose, content, structure, and conditions for the replacement qualifications.
Two new qualifications were published at level 3 and level 4 to replace existing qualifications at levels 2, 3, and 4.

The last date for entry into the replaced national qualifications is 31 December 2016. The last date for assessment against the replaced national qualifications is 31 December 2018. It is recommended that candidates enrolled in programmes leading to the replaced national qualifications and unable to complete by 31 December 2018 transfer their existing achievement to the replacement qualifications.
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 ServiceIQ at the address below. Appeals will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
