Through this project, we will work together with the Wool industry to review and develop the NZ Certificate in Wool Technology and Classing (Level 4) to ensure its relevance and alignment with current industry needs. The review will also assess what other products, such as micro-credentials and skill standards, may be needed to support the qualification.
Level 4 NZC in Wool Technology and Classing is a crucial qualification for the Wool industry and currently the only wools qualification in use so key areas of focus will include supporting potential provision, student access and various educational pathways including further product development with industry guidance.

This work is informed by research undertaken by the Food and Fibre Centre of Vocational Excellence and work we are doing to map non-formal training delivery to formal qualification development.
