Summary of review and consultation process

Toi Mai Workforce Development Council reviewed these qualifications in November 2025.  It was identified that these qualifications have no providers and had no completions since their development in 2019.

Feedback on proposed expiry of the qualifications was sought from stakeholder organisations and also through open public consultation via the Toi Mai website.  Through this, one new provider advised they intended to start delivering these qualifications.  The qualifications were reviewed to ensure they remained fit for purpose.

Responsibility for these qualifications has been transferred from Toi Mai to the Electrotechnology and Information Technology Industry Skills Board to reflect the VET reforms.

 

 

Main changes resulting from the review

New Zealand Certificate in Performing Arts Teaching (Level 5) [Ref: 3421]

·       Credits for graduate profile outcomes (GPOs) 1, 3 and 4 were reduced, resulting in qualification credits also reduced from 60 to 45.  The reduced credit value better reflects the time it will take for skills acquisition, and also ensures the qualification is suited to both part-time and full-time learners.

·       Minor changes were made to Strategic Purpose statement and Graduate Profile Outcome 2 to include work with diverse learners.

·       Updates made to programme guidance including legislation and diversity and inclusion.

New Zealand Diploma in Performing Arts Teaching (Level 6) [Ref: 3435]

·       Minor changes were made to Strategic Purpose statement.

·       Changes were made to GPO statements to include a focus on advanced teaching pedagogy, rather than just teaching advanced performance.

·       Updates made to programme guidance including legislation and diversity and inclusion.
