Summary of review and consultation process

The Public Sector qualifications listed above were reviewed by Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council, as part of the 5-yearly cycle.  This review was carried out between October and December 2022.

There have been no completions or enrolled learners, in these qualifications, since 2017 and we explored, with the single stakeholder using these qualifications, whether they should be maintained or expired.  The stakeholder advised that the qualifications be expired, as soon as possible.

Further consultation of the proposed expiry of these qualifications was carried out following the transition of the standard setting responsibilities from The Skills Organisation to Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council.  The decision to expire these qualifications was supported, and they were expired without replacement.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

All qualifications will expire on 31 December 2023:

·         New Zealand Certificate in Public Sector Practice (Level 3) [Ref: 3635]

·         New Zealand Certificate in Public Sector Service Delivery (Level 4) [Ref: 3636]

·         New Zealand Certificate in the Use of Data and Statistics for Policy Development (Level 5) [Ref: 3637]
