Qualifications and Standards update
Muka Tangata Qualification and Standards team are nearing the end of a very productive year and wish to thank everyone who they have collaborated with during the year to help them achieve their mahi.
The team have been working on the below qualifications development projects over the past year:
Agriculture
The project team is currently seeking feedback from the three advisory groups on draft qualifications for Level 3 Agriculture.
Entry Level
Insights have been gathered on skills, qualification structures, micro-credentials, GPOs and credits. The project team is consulting on pathways, proposed GPOs and a qualification structure with the working group.
Forestry
In early 2024, it was agreed to pause the review to secure adequate industry representation for the remainder of the project.
A Forestry pan-sector governance group has been formed that is to become the key point of contact for the review.
Seafood
Since the Seafood qualifications development project began in April 2023, the team have reviewed seven qualifications, developed two new qualifications, and created an ongoing workplan to produce micro-credentials and skill standards to support the new qualifications. 290 unit standards were rolled over to ensure that providers can continue to deliver programmes while this large volume of work is underway.
The project team are now developing the remaining products required to fill out the contexts for the level 3 and 4 qualifications.
