Summary of review and consultation process

Key qualification review, development and consultation phases:

Input and feedback from key stakeholders were invited and incorporated into the review.  Key phases in the process included:

·      Pre-review survey on Toi Mai’s website.

·      Exercise Industry Wānanga held in Wellington in September 2022 attended by industry and provider representatives to discuss the current state of the industry, future trends, opportunities and training needs; and identify changes required to existing qualifications.

·      Formation of advisory groups followed by advisory group meetings to discuss and receive their feedback and work through the review of the qualifications.

·      Open public consultation – via the Toi Mai website and through advisory group networks.

·      Stakeholder endorsement of review outcomes – via email and online meetings.
