We are asking for feedback from stakeholders as part of the review process.
This is your opportunity to provide feedback on the content of the qualifications and unit standards. The documents below are the final qualification consultation drafts, and the unit standard consultation drafts are available via request. Please email qualificationcomments@mito.org.nz and specify the unit standard number/s.
In brief,
- Qualification Strategic Purpose statement and general conditions for programmes were reworded to ensure clarity, and amended where necessary to align with industry requirements
- Qualification Conditions relating to the graduate profile were removed and shifted to a programme guidance document on the MITO website
- Qualifications and unit standards have been updated to the latest NZQA template.
The rationale for these changes is to ensure the qualification and unit standard content is relevant, representative of industry’s needs, and meets the NZQA listing requirements.
Please email all feedback to qualificationcomments@mito.org.nz by 12pm 15 December 2020.
Following this date, MITO will consider and incorporate feedback into the reviewed qualifications and unit standards prior to making the NZQA submission.
Once the reviewed qualifications and unit standards are approved and listed by NZQA, the current versions will be set to expiring.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to participate in this qualification and unit standard review.
