Transition Arrangements
Version 5
Version 5 was issued to accommodate the review and reclassification of the First Line
Management standards.
Changes to structure and content
 The scope to choose an elective standard was broadened from the subfield
Management to the field Business, to encompass standards previously classified in the
First Line Management domain.
 The reference to other qualifications in the purpose statement has changed following
the review of the Textile Manufacture entry level qualifications. The National
Certificates in Textile Manufacture [Refs: 1121 and 1122] have replaced the National
Certificates in Textile Manufacture [Refs: 0142-0146; 0148-0150; 0916].
For detailed information see Review Summaries on the NZQA website.
People currently enrolled in programmes leading to the award of version 4 of this
qualification may either complete that version or transfer to version 5.
Competenz does not intend that any existing candidate be disadvantaged by this revision.
