Summary of republication process |
The last date of assessment for superseded version 1 of the above qualifications is December 2026. Programme development for version 2 of the qualifications has been delayed due to a lack of relevant Level 4 standards registered on the NZQCF framework. Skill standard development is required by Hanga-Aro-Rau Workforce Development Council to address this. The standards development and subsequent programme development will not be completed by the current last date of assessment of version 1 of the qualifications. This extension to the last date of assessment for the superseded versions will allow programme developers time to undertake the required programme development. The last date of assessment for version 1 of these qualifications has been extended from 31 December 2026 to 31 December 2027. |
Main changes resulting from the republication process |
The last date of assessment for superseded version 1 of these qualifications was extended from 31 December 2026 to 31 December 2027. |
