Summary of review and consultation process

The qualification review was led by the External Working Group (EWG) which comprised of key poultry industry representatives and the Executive Director of PIANZ.  The EWG met in July 2018. Members were concerned that the new suite of Level 3 and Level 4 post TRoQ qualifications did not meet industry needs for a range of reasons. 

Consultation with the wider poultry industry was initiated by email with follow up skype call, and individual phone conversations with specific industry sector representatives as required throughout the process.

EWG members carried out further consultation on final drafts within their organisations and/or wider industry.  Changes required to the qualifications were collated and incorporated where appropriate in consultation with the EWG.
