Review of Hospitality qualification
National Certificate in Hospitality (Small Business Management) (Level 4) [Ref: 1145]
The Hospitality Standards Institute has completed the review of the qualification listed above.
Date new versions published September 2010
Summary of review and consultation process
This qualification has had no reported usage and there is very little interest in it within industry. NZQA have had no reports of the qualification being awarded since it was registered. Only one Institute of Technology and Polytechnic has obtained course approval for this qualification and they have no plans to use it. There are currently nine candidates enrolled in a programme leading to this qualification but only three plan to complete it. For these reasons the industry and provider stakeholders have agreed that the qualification is no longer required.
Main changes resulting from the review
The qualification has been designated as expiring and will not be replaced.
