Follwing consultation with industry in September 2024 and April 2025, the following qualifications were reviewed and found to be fit for purpose, requiring only minor updates. These included transferring content to the current template and assigning new version numbers, updating qualification award details and general conditions for programmes, ensuring consistency, and adding programme endorsement information.
Review and transition dates have now been set for May 2030.
Qualifications
Scheduled review dates have been changed for 41 unit standards to maintain their currency on the following equine domains: heath, care, industry, husbandry and saddlery.
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.
