We worked closely with our Technical Advisory Group (TAG), which included representatives from Concrete NZ, BCITO, Brian Perry Civil, Firth, Angus McMillan Concrete and other concrete specialists.
The outcomes reflect ongoing engagement with the wider sector, including feedback from the key industry body, employers and training advisors. We’ve focused on ensuring the qualifications are realistic, industry-led, and support clear progression between levels.
The tables below show how the proposed Graduate Profile Outcomes (GPOs) and skill standards fit together to form the qualifications. A credit value is shown next to each GPO.
