Targeted consultation was carried out in September 2024. Discussions were held with Apiculture NZ Chief Executive and the Head of Education and Skills Focus Group.

A recent consistency review indicated that providers were satisfied with the qualifications and there was no need for changes at this stage. The qualifications were deemed fit for purpose. |
