Summary of republication

Representatives from the scaffolding industry and providers requested an extension to the Last Date of Assessment for superseded version 1 of all qualifications that were reviewed in February 2022.

The reason for the extension was to allow a reasonable amount of time for the redevelopment of programmes, new delivery plans and redeveloped learning, teaching, and assessment resources.

This is not expected to be completed before the current last date of assessment for the superseded versions of 31 December 2023.

The new date has now been extended from 31 December 2023  to 31 December 2025.

 

Main changes resulting from the republication

• The last date of assessment was extended from 31 December 2023 to 31 December 2025 on the four qualifications listed above.

• The email address was updated from qualifications@waihanga.nz to qualifications@waihangaararau.nz.
