Summary of republication and consultation process

In June 2025, Toi Mai initiated the review and expiry of five sport and recreation qualifications due to low or no usage. In September, one provider requested an extension to the last date for assessment for two of the qualifications to allow learners more time to complete their programme. 

The extended last date for assessment for these qualifications is now 30 June 2026.

 

Main changes resulting from the republication process

The last date for assessment extended from 31/12/2025 to 30 June 2026, when the qualifications will be discontinued.
