New Zealand Diploma in Audio Engineering and Production (Level 6) [Ref: 3423] · Credit value reduced from 240 to 120 to allow entry for learners who may have experience from other qualifications other than the Level 5 Diploma. · Strategic purpose broadened to reflect that graduates go on to employment in various creative industries. · Reference to “complex” music removed throughout qualification as this difficult to define and assess. · Graduate profile wording amended to better reflect theories and skills, and to remove duplication. · General conditions reworded to strengthen requirements around regard to diversity and inclusion.
