NZQA Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) has completed the revision of the qualification listed above.
Date new version published February 2011
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2015.
Reason for the revision
The revision of this qualification was prompted by a query regarding the lack of exemptions for people that have gained credit for standards that were replaced by newer standards in this qualification, and their ability to be awarded this qualification.
Main change resulting from the revision
An exemption table has been included to provide exemptions for people who have gained credit for standards 19463-19465.
Transition
Version 2 of this qualification was issued following a revision to provide exemptions for standards that were replaced by the newer standards contained in this qualification. There were no other changes made to the structure or content of the qualification.
Candidates who have enrolled in version 1 of this qualification and who have credit for all of or some of standards 19463-19465 should transfer their results to version 2 of this qualification.
This qualification contains standards that replace earlier standards. For the purpose of this qualification, people who have gained credit for the replaced standards are exempt from the requirement to gain credit for the replacement standards - see table below.
