Summary of review and consultation process |
The October 2020 5-year qualification review of the Pharmacy qualifications resulted in the New Zealand Diploma in Pharmacy (Pharmacy Technician - Specialist) (Level 6) qualification type moving from a certificate to a diploma. The re-versioning of the qualification including qualification type from certificate to diploma created unexpected consequences for Tertiary Education Organisations and they have requested a new qualification be created, rather than a new version. A new qualification will be listed to replace version 2 of the reviewed qualification, which will be expired. No further changes have been made. |
Main changes resulting from the review |
New Zealand Diploma in Pharmacy (Pharmacy Technician - Specialist) (Level 6) [Ref: 2261-2] discontinued and replaced by the New Zealand Diploma in Pharmacy (Pharmacy Technician - Specialist) (Level 6) [Ref: 4410] |
