TroQ

This great sounding acronym relates to a move by government (through NZQA) to streamline and simplify the qualifications system. It stands for ‘Targeted Review of Qualifications’ and the focus of the review is to reduce the duplication and proliferation of qualifications. The aim is to ensure credible and useful qualifications are available to learners, employers and other interested parties.

Skills Active, NZMSC and NZOIA have completed an extensive review of their tri-partite MOU entered into in December 2009. This MOU centred on the key principle of an alignment of qualifications with a single industry standard, aligned with the National Qualifications Framework (the Framework).
