Summary of review and consultation process

 

In 2010, Skills Active Aotearoa Limited completed a major review of the unit standards and qualifications in the Community Recreation and Sport subfields.  This review resulted in the registration of the Recreation and Sport subfield for which unit standards and qualifications will be developed in 2011.  As a result of this review, this reviewed qualification was designated as expiring because it no longer met industry requirements.

 

A new qualification, the National Certificate in Recreation and Sport - Coaching and Instruction with strands in Cycle Skills Instructor, and Developing Coaching [Ref: 1626], has been developed to better fit the needs of industry.  The new qualification has a different purpose and is aimed at a different target group.  There is no replacement relationship between the expiring and the new qualification.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·         The following qualification was designated expiring and will expire at the end of December 2012.

·         Transition arrangements were added to allow the qualification to continue to be achievable until its expiry date.

Transition

 

Candidates enrolled in courses or training programmes leading to the award of the National Certificate in Sport (Coaching) (Level 4) [Ref: 0444] have until December 2012 to complete the qualification.

 

Please note that unit standard 5361, which is a prerequisite for the award of unit standards 5363 and 16789 in the Compulsory section of the qualification, expired in 2006.  Therefore, candidates will need to demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills to that in unit standard 5361 in order to be awarded unit standards 5363 and 16789 and meet the requirements of the qualification.

 

This qualification contains expiring standards that have been replaced by other standards.  For the purposes of this qualification people who have gained credit for the replacement standards are exempt from the requirement to gain credit for the expiring standards.
