Gas Infrastructure

micro-credential development

We have continued to develop micro-credentials that align with the Gas Certificate of Competency (CoC) Protocol, building on the four micro-credentials that we had listed in 2024.

We’re now creating the next 10 micro-credentials, and we’re calling for industry feedback on the drafts. Feedback is open until 30 July 2025.

Please note: Appendix 3 of the Protocol lists the unit standards required for each CoC Resources — Gas New Zealand (gasnz.org.nz). The Protocol will be updated to accommodate the new micro-credentials in due course.
