National Diploma in Reo Māori (Level 6) [Ref: 1197]

 

NZQA Māori Qualifications Services has revised the qualifications listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          January 2013

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2013.

 

Reason for the revision

 

The qualifications were revised to increase their flexibility.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The Elective section of both qualifications has been amended to allow credit for all subfields from within Field Māori.  The change makes the qualifications more flexible and recognises that te reo Māori outcomes can be achieved through the study of other related kaupapa such as tikanga, waiata, poi, haka, and reo Māori media.

 

The qualifications were revised to address Whakaruruhau feedback, and to allow trainees to select standards appropriate to their workplace or learning requirements.
