Summary of review and consultation process
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of the 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.
Industry confirmed the on-going need for 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The existing National qualifications have been replaced by New Zealand qualifications, as detailed below.
