Industry Training

Industry training is New Zealand’s leading workplace learning programme. It develops people’s skills and qualifications while they work, and sharpens business competitive edge.

How industry training works

Industry Training Organisations (ITOs), advise on training, set standards, help arrange formal training, provide packages and help workers track down the right NZQA-recognised qualifications.

The ITO does as much of the paperwork and detailed planning as possible. Training is either on-the-job, or off-the-job (for instance at a polytechnic), or a combination of the two.

Learning will be assessed by an approved staff member, an outside assessor, or a tertiary education provider—or a combination of all three.

The ITO will visit your organisation twice a year to check the quality of the training and ensure that there are no problems.
