Muka Tangata leads the consultation, creation, and development of educational components (qualifications, standards and micro-credentials) and pathways in the food and fibre sector.
Development projects are initiated in response to industry requests and undertaken in collaboration with industry, iwi and hapū Māori and training providers as part of advisory groups. They ensure that ākonga (learners) are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to succeed in the sector.

*Each project may include the development of one or more qualifications, standards or micro-credentials.
Members of our qualification development projects advisory groups contribute crucial industry knowledge and expertise. These advisory groups directly contribute to the topic and detail of the education products we develop.
To ensure timely processing of pre-moderation, consent to assess, microcredential support and programme endorsement applications before the disestablishment of Muka Tangata, we encourage providers to submit all relevant assessment materials and applications by October 3, 2025.
We will continue to process applications after this date, but we cannot guarantee they will be completed before Muka Tangata finishes operations on 19 December 2025. Any in-flight submissions will be handed over to the newly established Industry Skills Board for completion.
We encourage you to contact us at the earliest opportunity if you have any questions about this, or want to discuss any proposed submissions.
