Summary of review and consultation process
During 2013-2016, a mandatory sector review of qualifications in the Performing Arts sector occurred. The review encompassed broad consultation with industry and training provider stakeholders to ensure that the new qualifications meet current and future needs.
The review resulted in the recommendation that a number of new qualifications across a range of Performing Arts disciplines such Dance, Drama, Music, DJ and Audio Engineering, as well as new technical qualifications for Entertainment Technicians, Costume Construction and Technical Production, should be listed.
With the exception of the four Level 3 national qualifications listed above, the national qualifications will not be replaced directly with New Zealand qualifications.
