Summary of republication process

The extension of the last date for assessment (LDA) of the superseded version of the above qualifications has been undertaken following requests and discussions with providers.

This one-year extension is to enable cohorts of recently enrolled learners/ākonga to complete the prior version of the qualifications.  There were some quite significant changes between versions of these qualifications. There were also some significant changes to credit values and new standards created to align with the reviewed versions of the qualifications. 

This extension also enables providers to avoid duplication of effort for programme and resource redevelopment, and alignment with the 31 December 2023 last date for assessment of the prior version of the associated business unit standards. 

For information on the previous qualification review, see the July 2020 change report for the review of NZ Business qualifications.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

·         The last date for assessment of the superseded version of the qualifications was extended from 31 December 2022 to 31 December 2023.  

·         The Qualification Developer was updated from NZQA National Qualifications Services to Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council.
