Transition information
Replacement information
This qualification replaced the National Certificate in Baking (Plant Baking)
(Level 4) with strands in Bread, Biscuit, Cake, and Pastry [Ref: 0591], and
the New Zealand Certificate in Plant Baking (Level 5) with strands in
Biscuit and Cake, Bread, Gluten Free, and Pastry [Ref: 1846].
People currently working toward the replaced Ref: 0591 may either complete the requirements for that
qualification by 31 December 2019 or transfer their results to this qualification.
New enrolments into programmes leading to Ref: 0591 will not be accepted after 31 December 2017.
Because no candidates are enrolled in programmes leading to the replaced New Zealand qualification
Ref: 1846, it has been discontinued immediately. Consequently, no new enrolments can be accepted
into Ref: 1846, and no transition arrangements apply.
It is anticipated that no existing candidates will be disadvantaged by these transition arrangements.
However, anyone who feels that they have been disadvantaged may appeal to Competenz at the
address below. Appeals will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
