The next qualification review, of the New Zealand qualifications, is planned to take place by 31 December 2020.
Summary of review and consultation process
The review occurred as a result of the mandatory review of the balance of 5 qualifications, part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) plus 2 New Zealand Certificates requiring a further review. The mandatory review involved extensive consultation with stakeholders working in the industry. Consultation included meetings to discuss the need to review the qualifications, and subsequent meetings took place in order to consider the proposed content of the qualifications.
Industry confirmed the on-going need for a set of qualifications in Print that would recognise graduate capabilities and provide an education pathway for trainees.
Main changes resulting from the review
The National Certificate in Print Industry Management (Level 4) [Ref: 0912] and the National Certificate in Print Industry Management (Level 5) [Ref: 1376] have been designated expiring and have not been replaced.
