We invite you to work with us to create Service sector credentials relevant to 2023 and beyond. These could be qualifications, micro-credentials, skill standards, a combination of all three… or something completely new!
New Zealand’s Service sector grows excellent communicators, problem solvers, collaborators and leaders. The changing nature of work is increasing the demand for these people and the soft skills they possess.

We currently have 28 existing entry-level Services credentials (Level 2 and 3) that share similar outcomes. Let’s work together to reduce duplication and match the transferrable skills desired by employers and industry with common learning outcomes across the Service sector qualifications.
We are keen to get your views on exploring the concept and design of short, sharp, stackable credentials. With your help, we will redesign the structure and components of our current offerings to provide learners with simplified, portable qualifications suited to different industries, employers and regions.
