Summary of republication process |
|
New unit standards are currently being developed for programs leading to version 2 of these qualifications. This will take some time and will mean there will not be sufficient time for Tertiary Education Organisations (TEOs) to develop all programs and respective learning materials. Extension to last date of assessment of version 1 of these qualifications will allow TEOs to complete their development work. Learners enrolled in version 1 of these qualifications may be transitioned to version 2, however, may be required to meet additional learning outcomes because of changes to version 2. |
|
Main changes resulting from the republication |
|
The last date of assessment for version 1 of the qualifications above has been extended from 31 December 2023 to 31 December 2025. The Qualification developer has been updated from Competenz to Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering and Logistics Workforce Development Council, to reflect the Reform of Vocational Education (RoVE). |
