Summary of review and consultation process |

Employers and industry representatives were consulted to ensure the qualifications were relevant and fit for purpose. Consultation documents were published on the Waihanga Ara Rau Workforce Development Council Website from March through to August 2022. A Technical Advisory group with representatives from the gas reticulation industry, and the Gas Association of New Zealand (GANZ) considered the feedback at Advisory group meetings in June and August. Meetings were conducted online, and the recommendations informed the qualification review and amendments were made where appropriate. |
