Summary

 

Over April and May of 2021, Careerforce undertook direct consultation with Toi Ohomai, which was the only Tertiary Education Organisation to have assessed large numbers of learners against the standards over the last five years, and the Ministry of Education, which represented the many secondary schools who have assessed against the standards.  An open consultation for all providers with consent to assess was undertaken on the Careerforce website from 2-16 June 2021.

·      The titles of 12713, 12722 and 12731 were amended for consistency and readability.
