NZQA National Qualification Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published June 2022
Planned review date December 2027
Summary
This review had two main purposes. Firstly, to ensure standards due for review in 2021 continued to be fit for purpose and secondly, to ensure that standards developed to align with the following qualifications that were reviewed in 2020, (or included in programmes leading to them), were still suitable for those who wish to use them as assessment tools for the qualifications:
- New Zealand Certificate in Adult Literacy and Numeracy Education (Vocational/Workplace) (Level 5) [Ref: 2754]
- New Zealand Certificate in Assessment Practice (Level 4) [Ref: 2752]
- New Zealand Certificate in Adult and Tertiary Teaching (Level 4) [Ref: 2746]
- New Zealand Certificate in Adult and Tertiary Teaching (Level 5) [Ref: 2993]
In tandem with this development process, a wider review of unit standards at Levels 4 and 5 in Adult Education and Training and Generic Education and Training took place. The purpose of this was to ensure consistency across those levels. As a result of the review two new standards were developed for recommended pathways and seventeen standards were expired.
The review was carried out during 2021, by two expert panels (Adult Literacy and Numeracy Education [ALNE] and General) comprising representation from the qualification developer, polytechnics, Te Pūkenga, private training establishments, wānanga, ITOs, and moderators. The new drafts of the standards were developed and circulated to a wider network for consultation. All consultation feedback was considered and actioned where appropriate.
Main changes
- Standards developed leading to the New Zealand Certificate in ALNE (Educator) (Level 5) [Ref: 2755] (29626-29632) will expire due to low usage and no indication of future use.
- Standards 29622 (in the recommended pathway for both the Educator qualification [Ref: 2755] and the New Zealand Certificate in ALNE (Vocational/Workplace) (Level 5) [Ref: 2754]) and 29623 have been combined into a single standard as a result of the proposed expiry of the other Educator standards.
- A new standard in self-evaluation has been developed to be added to the recommended pathway for the New Zealand Certificate in Assessment Practice (Level 4) [Ref: 2752] to align with a new qualification outcome.
- Standards 7091, 7096, 7100, 7105, 7108, 7115, 20469, 20470, 21982, and 26009 will expire to address issues of overlap with other standards in these subfields and low usage.
- Standard 29693 was moved from the Assessment of Learning domain in the Generic Education and Training subfield to the Delivery of Adult Education and Training domain in the Adult Education and Training subfield to align with the classification of a similar standard at Level 4.
- Credit values for standard 30421 were increased and for standard 30422 were decreased to better reflect the amount of work required by candidates and ensure parity with similar standards.
- Titles and wording throughout have been amended to reflect language used in the reviewed qualifications and improve clarity.
- Adjustments have been made to some performance criteria to ensure clarity and alignment with the credit allocations.
- Compulsory range items have been incorporated into the relevant performance criteria, where practical, to make evidence requirements clearer.
- Updates to references and legislation have been made as required.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023
