Competenz

Competenz is a multi-sector industry training organisation which sets the standards for plastics training and qualifications and arranges for delivery of training and assessment across New Zealand. We help kiwi industry grow skills, careers and businesses and make it easy to learn on-the-job.

Competenz can provide training plans, support and qualifications – tailored to your businesses specific needs.

How we work with you

The New Zealand Certificates in Plastics Processing and Plastics Engineering have been developed by leading New Zealand plastics manufacturers to equip staff with the skills and knowledge to work productively and safely.

Together with the Level 2 programme in manufacturing (with a plastics specialisation) the qualifications form a pathway of learning from entry level plastics operators, die setters and technicians to experienced plastics production engineers.

The programmes have specialisations designed with the future in mind.

Micro-credentials

Micro-credentials are small formal ‘chunks’ of learning which cover skill sets that may be required by industry, but aren’t available through a qualification.

Micro-credentials are between 5 to 40 credits, consist of one or more unit standards and, just like a qualification, are nationally recognised and registered with NZQA.

Micro-credentials are a great option for existing employees who need to upskill in a certain area. They support:

• Ongoing professional development
• Retraining or training in a new skill (such as new technology)
• Progression to further education and training.
