Summary of review and consultation process

Consultation undertaken with stakeholders confirmed that the qualification is still needed and is relevant.  The review was informed by discussion at a senior level and by consistency review results, which the stakeholders concurred with.  This resulted in no significant changes in required skills and knowledge, and subsequently only minor changes to graduate outcomes and purpose for this New Zealand qualification.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

·         Graduate profile and qualification conditions reviewed to align with NZQA guidelines.

·         The wording of the graduate profile outcomes (GPOs) was simplified, with no resulting change in meaning or intent.

·         Conditions for the GPOs were amended.

·         A new review date was set.
