Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ)

This review forms part of a wider Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), which will examine almost 1,800 qualifications at Levels 1 to 6 across 26 industry sectors.

Read more about the wider review on the NZQA website.

The review is being carried out in consultation with key Tertiary Education Organisations (TEO’s), Private Training Providers (PTE’s), industry associations, and interested industry stakeholders.

Objectives of the review

1. Reduce the duplication of qualifications across industry sectors.
2. To establish a clearer suite of qualifications on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework.
3. Meet the needs of the industry, employers, trainees and students effectively.

In 2012 InfraTrain, as the qualifications developer, began the first stage of the review of the Infrastructure Works cluster of qualifications.  This included qualifications for the Civil, Surfacing, Utilities, Roadmarking, Rural Contracting and Civil Laboratory sectors.

In 2013 the focus will be on the review of Surveying and Infrastructure Asset Management qualifications and the second stage of the Infrastructure Works review.  The latter will look at the qualification specifications, the review of unit standards, and the development of programmes.

How will TRoQ affect current qualifications?
The current qualifications are still the benchmark for knowledge and skills in the industry. If you are an employer or trainee, you will be getting the very best in training by completing the current qualifications.
