The next qualification review, of the New Zealand qualifications, is planned to take place by 31 December 2020.
Summary of review and consultation process
During 2012, a mandatory sector review of qualifications in the Justice and Law (Compliance) sector occurred. The review encompassed broad consultation with the sector and training provider stakeholders to ensure that the new qualifications meet 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 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 2020 when the qualifications will be discontinued. From that date, no results can be reported against the qualifications.
