NZQA reports monthly on changes to unit standards, micro-credentials and qualifications registered on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework.
Change reports cover:
November 2023: Change report for the republication of Cellar Operation New Zealand Qualifications
To ensure timely processing of pre-moderation, consent to assess, microcredential support and programme endorsement applications before the disestablishment of Muka Tangata, we encourage providers to submit all relevant assessment materials and applications by October 3, 2025.
We will continue to process applications after this date, but we cannot guarantee they will be completed before Muka Tangata finishes operations on 19 December 2025. Any in-flight submissions will be handed over to the newly established Industry Skills Board for completion.
We encourage you to contact us at the earliest opportunity if you have any questions about this, or want to discuss any proposed submissions.
