Summary of review and consultation process

In 2020, NZQA National Qualifications Services facilitated the review of 23 New Zealand Creative Arts qualifications in collaboration with and on behalf of Creative Arts programme owners, the alliance of New Zealand’s creative industries and individuals who expressed an interest in the qualifications and their review.

 

Stakeholders were kept informed and invited to contribute at all stages of the review.  Consultation with creative industries was facilitated through the The WeCreate Working Group - https://wecreate.org.nz/#1

 

The purpose of the review was to ensure the suite of Creative Arts qualifications is still relevant to current and future learners, is fit for purpose and meeting the needs of the creative arts industry (community and commercial), employers, business and the general public. The intention was not to revisit the initial 2013-2014 review OR rebuild the current qualifications; rather the purpose of the review was to identify any anomalies and ensure clarity, consistency and coherence.

 

An advisory group met in December 2019 to guide the process of the review and confirm the relevance and currency of the qualifications.  Research indicated that the needs analysis which informed the initial development of these qualifications, remains current.

 

In February 2020, working groups met in Wellington to review the qualifications and develop revised drafts. These initial drafts were further refined and made ready for community consultation.

 

Consultation was delayed until September 2020. Feedback was requested via on online survey on the NZQA website. All stakeholders were invited to comment on the proposed amendments to the qualification(s) that related to their education or industry sector. A checklist was provided to prompt survey responses.

In October, questions raised through the consultation process were addressed by an advisory group by email and teleconference.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

The review identified anomalies in the qualifications to ensure clarity, consistency and coherence.

·         Strategic purpose statements/Te rautaki o te tohu have been refreshed and connect the application of creative arts knowledge and skills to a wider range of industries.

·         The general conditions for programmes/Ngā tikanga whānui o te hōtaka articulate commitment to ngā kaupapa o te Tiriti o Waitangi (the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi), and learning that reflects Te Ao Māori, the perspectives of Pacific peoples, and the cultural and individual educational needs of ākonga/learners. They also include those essential programme conditions that are necessitated by regulatory or legislative requirements.

·         Graduate profile qualification outcomes/Ngā hua have all been refreshed and are more fully descriptive. The credits/Ngā whiwhinga have been rationalised. Specific conditions / Ngā tikanga that relate to individual graduate outcomes are not included.

·         Evidence requirements for assuring consistency/Ngā taunaki hei whakaū i te tauritenga now focus on analysis of systems and processes, interpretation of data against the GPOs and application of the insights and knowledge gained.

The above changes strengthen the intent of the Version 1 qualifications.

In response to survey feedback, specific amendments were made to New Zealand Diploma in Digital Media and Design (Level 5) [Ref: 2638] and New Zealand Diploma in Fashion Design (Level 5) [Ref: 2641].

The following qualifications were discontinued, due to having no approved programmes and no intent indicated that they would be used in future:

·         New Zealand Diploma in Graphic Design (Level 5) [Ref: 2642]

·         New Zealand Diploma in Graphic Design (Level 6) [Ref: 2643] and

·         New Zealand Diploma in User Interface Design (Level 5) [Ref: 2644].

Any additional information

People should not be enrolled in programmes leading to the award of the replaced qualifications unless there is sufficient time available for them to meet the programme requirements before that version is discontinued.

 

People currently enrolled in programmes leading to version 1 of these qualifications may either complete the requirements by 31 December 2023 or transfer to version 2 of the qualification.

 

It is anticipated that no existing learners will be disadvantaged by these transition arrangements. However, anyone who feels that they have been disadvantaged may appeal to the qualification developer, NZQA National Qualifications Services (nqs@nzqa.govt.nz).
