NZQA National Qualifications Services has extended the expiry date of the twenty six unit standards listed above.
National Qualifications Services extended the expiry date of twenty six computing unit standards to 31 December 2017. This was to maintain the achievability of the National Diploma in Computing Level 5 [Ref: 0302] and not disadvantage learners during the transition to the New Zealand qualifications developed during the Mandatory Review of ICT qualifications in 2013/15.
These unit standards were originally designated as expiring in 2008, with the expiry date extended to 31 December 2015 in 2011 to minimise the impact on providers during the transition to New Zealand qualifications. No new or extension of consents to assess for the unit standards can be granted during the extended expiry phase.
The other twenty four Level 6 and thirty three Level 7 computing unit standards will expire on 31 December 2015. Details of these standards are available in the July 2011 review summary at http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/nqfdocs/summaries/2011/jul11/revsumjul11-05.html.
The expiry date was extended from 31 December 2015 to 31 December 2017.
All changes are in bold.
