Summary of consultation process

Muka Tangata has extended the last date of entry to programmes leading to replaced qualifications [Ref: 3130-3135] from 31 December 2026 to 31 December 2027.

New resources and programmes are likely to take longer than usual to develop as they will be skill standards based.
