Summary of review and consultation process

The review of these qualifications took place in December 2020. Only one provider is delivering the qualifications – Otago Polytechnic. Otago Polytechnic was contacted and surveyed on both qualifications.

They were determined to be fit for purpose and only minor changes made to strengthen and align with current practice for publishing on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework.

 

Main changes resulting from the review
