NZQA Māori Qualifications Services has completed the review of the qualifications listed above.
Replacement qualification
New Zealand Certificate in Business (Māori Business and Management) (Level 5) [Ref: 2712]
Date new versions published February 2015
The next qualification review, of the New Zealand qualification, is planned to take place during 2019.
Summaryofreview andconsultationprocess
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of Business qualifications, part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ), which included all Business qualifications at levels 2-6 on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. The New Zealand Certificate in Māori Business and Management (Level 5) [Ref: 2458], which was developed as part of the mandatory review, was not listed with the other new qualifications developed in the Business review. This qualification was instead submitted separately, under the Mātauranga Māori Evaluative Quality Assurance (MM EQA) process.
The National Certificate in Māori Business and Management [Ref: 03656] will expire without replacement. The needs analysis did not justify this qualification in the modern environment; but it did identify indicators suggesting a need for qualifications at lower levels, which will be investigated in the near future. As such, the current National Certificate in Māori Management - Generic (Whakangahau ki Te Ao Māori - Workplace Practices) (Level 3) [Ref: 1432] is not included in this review, but will be reviewed in the future development of New Zealand qualifications in Business.
