Summary of republication process |
The extensions of the last date for assessment (LDA) or last date for entry to the superseded/expiring versions of the above qualifications has been undertaken following discussions with providers. This one-year extension of the last date for assessment will allow providers time to update existing programmes leading to superseded versions of the qualifications. The extension of the last date for entry for [Ref: 2591] is to allow providers to enrol ākonga up until the end of June 2023 in programmes leading to the expiring qualification. This extension also enables providers to avoid duplication of effort for programme and resource redevelopment.
