Summary of review and consultation process

 

This qualification was reviewed as part of Learning State Limited's review schedule.

 

To date there has been minimal usage of the qualification, with it only having been awarded once, which was in 2005.  Consultation with the sector, which included the Ministry of Social Development, indicated that there was very little support for the continuation of this qualification.  Also, the qualification is no longer achievable as it contains expired standards.  As a result the qualification was designated expiring and was not replaced.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

The following qualification has been designated expiring and will expire at the end of February 2011.
