Summary of review and consultation process |
|
Hanga-Aro-Rau Workforce Development Council reviewed the above qualifications between August 2024 and February 2025 and involved a MAST academy and industry stakeholder representatives. The group met in person monthly during the review period. It was identified that there were emerging technologies not covered by the current version of the New Zealand Certificate in Power Boat Systems Servicing and Repair (Technician) qualification, this resulted in updates to the qualification GPO credits where new standards have been developed. This consultation also identified necessary changes to the Composite Sail Making and Rigging strands of the New Zealand Certificate in Yacht Rig Structures qualification, finding critical content gaps in the qualification. To address these gaps, new unit standards were developed. Consequently, the credit values of the GPOs in these two strands were increased, resulting in a change in the qualification credit value. Support for the reviewed qualifications was obtained from stakeholders. |
|
