APEX is a Training and Accreditation scheme designed for persons and companies operating within the Marquee Industry in New Zealand.
In years gone by, New Zealand has had no standard method or system to measure the knowledge, skill or experience of individual marquee riggers. The APEX scheme was developed in 2014 to certify marquee companies and their employees, it is designed so as to provide a level of consistency across the industry and promote quality assurance to users of Marquee, to Councils and Building Control Officers, to Worksafe, ACC and other stakeholders.
The scheme is administered by the Hire Industry Association of New Zealand, who are considered as the peak representative body for Marquee Installation within New Zealand. Our members include marquee manufacturers, marquee owners, marquee hire companies, and end users. Accredited APEX certified companies will have trained and accredited staff, they will use compliant products and meet the necessary operational standards, procedures, and safety.
