Strategic purpose statement
This qualification is suitable for graduates of the New Zealand
Certificate in Hot Dip Galvanizing (Level 3) [Ref: 2473], but is
also a credential for those already working in the galvanizing
industry. Graduates will generally work under limited
supervision.
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the galvanizing
sector with trade qualified people who can competently
undertake and direct specialised areas within the galvanizing
process.
Learners will benefit by having a qualification which recognises
specialised skills and knowledge in galvanizing that supports
improved job performance in specialist areas to enhance
employment opportunities.
Organisations will benefit in efficiency by having staff with
recognised skills and knowledge to competently specialise in
areas of the galvanizing process. This will maintain or improve
consistency of component production.
The strands recognise specialist knowledge and skills specific to
the Jigging, Pre-treatment, Hot Dipping, Centrifuging, and
Fettling aspects of the hot dip galvanizing process. Graduates
will show ownership of work in their specialist strand and be
capable of directing trade assistant galvanizers.

Arrangements for managing
consistency
TEOs will supply evidence that demonstrates how the
graduate outcomes are being met. Evidence should include:
-
-
-
-
Credit transfer and recognition of
prior learning arrangements
surveys of graduates and employers which determine
how well graduates are meeting the graduate outcomes
in the workplace
reports from consultation with major industry
associations to ensure graduates are meeting their
member’s needs
demonstration of effective processes to identify changes
in industry practice and training requirements. For
example, meeting minutes from industry advisory groups
any other evidence, including workplace evidence, that
shows how the graduate outcomes are being met.
Education organisations must have policies and procedures
in place for managing credit transfer, and assessing
recognition of prior learning and recognition of current
competency. These policies and procedures, and
information about associated fees, must be available to the
candidate prior to enrolment.
To facilitate credit transfer, education organisations must
clearly demonstrate the equivalency or comparability
between each of the outcomes in the graduate profile, and
