The review of the above qualifications was commenced by Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology in 2022, as the qualification developer at the time, and completed by Toi Mai Workforce Development Council in March 2024. Following an internal review based on all current programmes, recommended changes to the suite were distributed for consultation to key industry stakeholders, as well as for open consultation via the Toi Mai Website.
