Revision of Airport Operations qualification

Date new versions published                                                          September 2010

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2012.

 

Reason for the revision

 

The qualification was revised to replace the expiring Management subfield listed in the elective section and the credit exemptions for the New Zealand Diploma in Business (NZDipBus) to ensure currency until a review can take place.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

National Diploma in Airport Operations (Level 5) [Ref: 0514]

 

Changes to structure and content

·      The lapsing Management subfield in Elective 3 was replaced by the Business field.

·      Credit transfer from NZDipBus 530 paper was included for the purposes of Elective 3.

·      Credit transfer from 200 level NZDipBus papers for Elective 3 was updated to reflect that the papers expired on 31 December 2008.
