National Certificate in Hairdressing with strands in Hairdressing Practice, and Barbering Practice [Ref: 0022]
National Certificate in Hairdressing (Salon Support) [Ref: 0268]
National Certificate in Barbering [Ref: 0418]
The NZ Hairdressing Industry Training Organisation Inc has completed the revision of the qualifications listed above that were registered in August 2003.
Date new versions published March 2004
Outline of revision process
The Hairdressing Industry Training Organisation (HITO) found that following the review in August 2003 the transition provisions were disadvantaging some candidates. In the time taken to complete the review of the qualifications some providers had begun to include the new requirements within their programmes. This resulted in candidates achieving credit for replaced unit standards but not having credit for new components introduced to the qualifications at review. As many of the replacements are deemed to have similar outcomes the HITO decided to accept either the original requirement or its replacement as outlined below. It was also discovered that previous transition arrangements had been removed although the transition period had not yet expired, these have been reinstated.
The opportunity was taken to change the structure of the National Certificate in Hairdressing with strands in Hairdressing Practice, and Barbering Practice to reflect changes made to the National Certificate in Barbering [Ref: 0418].
The HITO will ensure all providers are made aware of the changes.
Main changes resulting from the review
