The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the qualification listed above as part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications.
New Zealand Certificate in Offender Management (Level 3) [Ref: 2658] New Zealand Certificate in Offender Management (Level 4) [Ref: 2659]
The next qualification review, of the New Zealand qualification, is planned to take place by 31 December 2019.
During 2012, a mandatory sector review of qualifications in the Lifting Equipment sector occurred. The review encompassed broad consultation with industry and training provider stakeholders to ensure that the new qualification meets current and future needs. The review resulted in the recommendation that the national qualifications listed above should be replaced by New Zealand qualifications. The replacement New Zealand qualifications have now been listed, and the national qualifications will therefore be phased out.
The review resulted in the national qualifications listed above being replaced by New Zealand qualifications, as detailed below.

The last date for entry into programmes leading to the replaced qualifications is 31 December 2017, when the replaced qualifications will be designated expiring.
The last date to meet the requirements of the replaced qualifications will be 31 December 2019 when the qualifications will be discontinued. From that date no results can be
reported against the qualifications.
People currently working towards one of the replaced qualifications may either complete the requirements by 31 December 2019 or transfer their results to the replacement qualification.
Any person enrolled in expiring unit standard 4258 of the replaced qualification Ref: 0678 must complete and report the assessment before 31 December 2019.
