Reason for the republication

 

The national qualifications were set to expiring during 2016 as part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for the Recreation and Sport sector.  The qualifications were either directly replaced or had recommended alternative qualifications listed.

 

The national qualifications required an extension to the last date for entry into programmes leading to them in order allow for the new programmes of industry new qualifications to be finalised and made available for delivery.

 

The last date for assessments to take place for the national qualifications was not extended and remains at 31 December 2019.
