Date report published                                                                                  November 2005

 

Reason for the withdrawal

 

The National Certificates in Furniture Finishing at levels 2 and 4 required correction and were in the process of being revised.  The NZ Furniture Industry Training Organisation is taking the opportunity to reassess the qualifications, as industry has requested further changes to all three qualifications registered in August 2005.

 

In the interim, the current versions of all three qualifications in Furniture Finishing are withdrawn from the Framework.  Revised versions of the qualifications will be re-registered on the Framework when the outcome of consultation with industry is finalised.

 

Transition

 

The ITO has not signed trainees to these versions of the qualifications, so no transition arrangements are necessary.
