New Zealand Certificate in Piling (Level 4) [version 2] - Industry Consultation Survey

You are invited to provide feedback on the New Zealand Certificate in Piling (Level 4) [version 2].

Waihanga Ara Rau Workforce Development Council and NZQA have developed and approved a new version of the Piling Level 4 qualification, including several new Unit Standards.​ The previous version is the New Zealand Certificate in Infrastructure (Piling) (Level 4) [version 1].

​Connexis has an NZQA approved programme for version 1 of the qualification and is now required to develop a new programme to be approved to meet the requirements of this new version of the qualification.​

The proposed Connexis programme is required to reflect the qualification changes to the Graduate Profile Outcomes, evident in minor wording and credit values changes. It also includes changing two mandatory unit standards to elective and an expanded range of elective options to provide flexibility for trainees. For employees who are not ‘operators’, guidance is provided on the appropriate unit standards to choose. The overall credit value of the programme remains the same.

As employers, industry practitioners, assessors or graduates, your perspective is important to us, and we would appreciate your feedback on these changes.

Please review the “Summary of main changes proposed for Edition 2 of Connexis NZQA programme number 124816 leading to the New Zealand Certificate in Piling (Level 4) NZQA Ref 3966 v2”, and then complete the online survey linked below.

This survey will remain open into the New Year 2025.
