Review of Hauora qualifications
National Certificate in Hauora (Māori Community Health) (Level 4) [Ref: 0710]
National Diploma in Hauora (Māori Community Health) (Level 5) [Ref: 0711]
The Māori Qualification Services and the Whakaruruhau Hauora have reviewed the above qualifications and updated them to incorporate amendments resulting from unit standard reviews and to meet the requirements identified by the industry. The qualifications were registered in December 1999.
Date new versions published April 2004
Main changes resulting from the review
The structure and credit value of both qualifications has changed. The results of the review of unit standards in the subfield Hauora, completed in December 2002, have been incorporated. The Hauora industry has provided valuable input to the content of the qualifications to improve their relevance to the industry. Unit standards with a report writing and administrative focus have been included in both qualifications. Treaty of Waitangi unit standards that are more relevant to the Hauora industry have been added to the National Certificate in Hauroa (Māori Health) (Level 4) [Ref: 0710].
