NZQA-led qualification reviews and developments
This page is about reviews and developments facilitated by NZQA Qualifications Services (QS).
QS is responsible for the development, maintenance and review of nationally recognised New Zealand qualifications (generic and Field Māori) to support industry, employer, hapū, iwi and Government goals.
We work with industry, employers, professional groups, Whakaruruhau and other stakeholders to develop qualifications that are fit for purpose.
NZQA has two teams, Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) and National Qualifications Services (NQS) responsible for the quality and credibility of the New Zealand qualifications that are submitted to NZQA for listing.
Māori Qualifications Services
Mātauranga Māori qualifications have been developed with a Māori world view and in consultation with whānau, hapū, and iwi; and with the guidance and expertise of Whakaruruhau, Governance and Working Groups.
