Summary of development and consultation process

The qualification is a new development facilitated by Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council.

The qualification was driven by the need to provide the exterior cleaning industry with people who have the skills and knowledge to complete exterior cleaning work to meet expected safety and technical standards. The exterior cleaning industry expressed the need for quality training to recognise these skills.

Waihanga Ara Rau consulted with industry representatives to develop the qualification and the mandatory skill standards set out in the qualification. Technical Advisory Group meetings began in February 2025 and finished in July 2025.
