1 Introduction
The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) is currently overseeing the Mandatory Review of
Qualifications, a review of all level 1 to 6 qualifications on the New Zealand Qualifications
Framework (NZQF). The review aims to reduce the duplication and proliferation of qualifications;
to ensure the qualifications meet the overall needs of the particular sector and are useful, relevant
and fit for purpose; and meet the new requirements for listing qualifications on the NZQF.
The review of Ngā Toi Māori, is being co-lead by Māori Qualifications Services (NZQA) and Te
Whare Wānanga o Awanuiarangi.
Following consultation on the draft landscape of Ngā Toi Māori qualifications, which closed 29
August 2013, the Governance Group considered the feedback and provided a brief for working
groups to guide the development of a modified proposed suite of qualifications.
Working groups were convened in early November to start the qualification development process,
preparing the purpose statement and outcome statements for the proposed qualifications.
These draft qualifications are now available for consultation. The Ngā Toi Māori qualifications
review invites feedback on the proposed Ngā Toi Māori qualifications to replace current
qualifications.
Full details of the draft qualifications are available in Appendix A.
If endorsed by this consultation, these draft qualifications, or a revised set depending on the
nature of feedback received, will be submitted to NZQA Quality Assurance for ‘approval to develop
a qualification’ with the intention that they will eventually replace all Ngā Toi Māori related
qualifications levels 1 - 6 on the NZ Qualifications Framework.
Further qualification development work will be undertaken in stage two of the review process,
with a particular focus on refining the draft qualifications and including specifications and
conditions relating to the qualifications and graduate profile outcomes.
Further information about the Mandatory Review of Ngā Toi Māori Qualifications, including the
working group brief, the draft needs analysis report, a list of all qualifications included in the
review, membership of the Governance Group, the Review Plan, and previous consultation
documents, can be found on the Ngā Toi Māori webpage.

2 Proposed Qualifications Landscape
The Review proposes a suite of four new Ngā Toi Māori qualifications – two certificates and two
diplomas.
The new qualifications are designed to recognise generalist Ngā Toi Māori skills and knowledge
and also specialist areas, be achievable in different contexts and to enable graduates to pursue the
intended educational and employment outcomes.
Further development and consistency work will occur following the application for ‘approval to
develop’, to refine the graduate profile outcomes, clarify conditions and other requirements
applicable for each qualification, and ensure consistency across the suite of Ngā Toi Māori
qualifications.
The proposed landscape is contained on the following page.
The proposed Ngā Toi Māori Qualifications are available in Appendix A
Consultation closes Monday 6 January 2014

4 Further considerations and stakeholder feedback
The scope of this review precludes consideration of qualifications above level 6, however the
proposed qualifications indicate education pathways onto further study.
4.1 Consultation seeking Stakeholder feedback
We are now seeking feedback from whānau, hapū, iwi, the Ngā Toi sector, providers, communities
and other interested parties on the proposed draft qualifications. All feedback will contribute to
the refinement of the suite of Ngā Toi Māori qualifications proposed for further development and
for submission for ‘Application for approval to develop’.
Please consider the draft qualifications available in Appendix A and provide feedback on the online
survey.
If you prefer, general comments on the draft qualifications may be emailed to
ngatoimaori.qualifications@nzqa.govt.nz.
Capturing the intended purpose, graduate profile and pathway outcomes for each qualification,
and confirming the need, is important at this first stage. Further work focusing on the detail of
each outcome and the credits associated will be completed later.
IMPORTANT NOTE
All new qualifications are New Zealand qualifications and the graduate outcomes have been
written in a way that allows for achievement in different contexts using a variety of media. This
has been done to give education providers maximum flexibility in adapting existing
programmes of study or developing new programmes of study leading to the qualification.
An education provider’s point of difference and specialisation will now exist at the programme
level (not the qualification level).
Please read these draft outcomes with this in mind and address the qualification outcomes in
your feedback.
