Summary of review and consultation process

Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council reviewed the qualifications listed above, in March 2023.

Te Pukenga is currently the only provider delivering programmes leading to the New Zealand Diploma in Architectural Technology version 1. They have made a request to extend the last date for assessment for the New Zealand Diploma in Architectural Technology superseded version 1 and the New Zealand Diploma in Construction superseded version 1 to enable time for programme updates to be completed as part of the programme unification process.  

Providers who currently deliver programmes leading to the New Zealand Diploma in Construction (Level 6) with strands in Construction Management, and Quantity Surveying have been informed of this extension request and have had opportunity to provide any feedback.
