Summary of development/review and consultation process |
Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering, and Logistics Workforce Development Council commenced the review of the New Zealand Certificate in Competitive Systems and Practices qualifications listed above in July 2024. The review was to ensure the qualification continued to be fit-for-purpose for industry and make necessary changes where required.
