  1. Targeted Review of Qualifications: A Brief Primer

  2. Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) Aim is to significantly reduce the number of qualifications on the New Zealand Qualifications Frame work (NZQF); and to ensure they are useful and relevant Focuses on certificates and diplomas at Levels 1-6 (excluding NCEA and university qualifications) Intended to simplify the qualifications system; and reduce duplication and proliferation of qualifications All existing qualifications will ultimately be replaced by a suite of new NZ qualifications

  3. Proposals under TRoQ: Qualifications and programmes are separated more than one programme can lead to the qualification All qualifications are in the public domain programmes leading to the qualifications are owned by developer SSBs and education providers are compulsory stakeholders in each other’s qualification development encourage collaboration and collective approach to qualification development Have a single set of flexible qualification design rules

  4. Seven changes under TRoQ Develop a unified NZQF Require the use of existing quality-assured qualifications, and change the design rules for National and New Zealand qualifications Require mandatory periodic reviews of qualifications Strengthen and standardise qualification outcome statement requirements Introduce a mandatory pre-development assessment stage for qualifications development Strengthen recognised industry involvement in qualifications development Provide the public with clear information about whether a qualification is active, inactive or closed

  5. Separation of the qualification from the programme

  6. Mandatory reviews Reviews would be conducted in two stages: • an initial review, initiated by NZQA usually, but possible for a qualification developer or industry to initiate • on-going, periodic reviews designed to ensure qualifications remain fit for purpose

  7. Qualification design rules • Statement of strategic purpose • use, relevance, point of difference • Outcome statement • skills, knowledge, application, education or employment pathways (work or community) • Specification • requirements and guidance for programme developers • pre-requisites; credit transfer, rpl, apl, rcc arrangements; entry requirements; consistency of outcomes
