Date new qualifications published and replaced qualifications republished
March 2013
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2017.
Binding and Finishing review and consultation process
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Print sector qualifications, part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ). The mandatory review involved extensive consultation with stakeholders working in and with the industry. Consultation included meetings to discuss the need to review the qualifications, and subsequent meetings considered the proposed content of the qualifications.
Industry confirmed the on-going need for a suite of qualifications in this area that would recognise graduate capabilities and provide an education pathway for trainees.
A decision was made to not have a specific binding and finishing qualification at Level two, recognising that Level two usually covers generic industry employee skills and that different education pathways are being developed for Level one and two learners with a focus on vocation options within NCEA.
The existing national qualifications have been replaced by New Zealand qualifications, as detailed below.

Transition
Ref: 0059 will be designated expiring on the 31 December 2013, from which time no new enrolments in programmes leading to the qualification will be accepted. People currently enrolled in programmes leading to the qualification must complete it by 31 December 2015, at which time the qualification will be designated as discontinued.
It is anticipated that no existing candidates will be disadvantaged by these transition arrangements. However, anyone who feels that they have been disadvantaged may appeal to the Communications and Media Industry Training Organisation at the address below. Appeals will be considered on a case by case basis.
Print review and consultation process
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Print sector qualifications, part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ). The mandatory review involved extensive consultation with stakeholders working in and with the industry. Consultation included meetings to discuss the need to review the qualifications, and subsequent meetings considered the proposed content of the qualifications.
As with Binding and Finishing it was identified that a Level two qualification was no longer required, and that one Level three and one Level four qualification would recognise the range of capabilities of graduates, while providing an appropriate education pathway.
