Notice of Expired and Expiring Standards
The Vocational Pathways provide a framework for young people to achieve NCEA Level 2 or equivalent, which is the
foundation for success in further education, training and work. The Vocational Pathways enable young people to see
how their learning and achievement will be valued in the workplace and the types of study options and job
opportunities available.
The Vocational Pathways are constructed from recommended and sector-related assessment standards (unit and
achievement standards), which are subject to regular cycles of review by standard-setting bodies. These regular
reviews ensure assessment standards are relevant, up to date and continue to meet the changing needs of the
education sector, business and the workplace.
Changes to Vocational Pathway Standards
Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) and NZQA have recently confirmed changes to some standards under the
Vocational Pathways, detailed in Schedule 1 below. These changes will be updated on www.youthguarantee.net.nz
and incorporated into the Vocational Pathways Profile Builder tool in November 2013.
The content of your Vocational Pathway programme for 2014 may need to be updated. Standards that have expired
or are expiring will need to be replaced with new or current standards, as provided in Schedule 1 (below), or with
other suitable standards from within the Vocational Pathway which fit your programme. The standards that replace
the expired, expiring or discontinued standards are highlighted in yellow in the tables below.
Explanation of changes
The following sets of changes to each Vocational Pathway include a number of elements:
Expired standards - have already expired and will be removed from the Vocational Pathways documents.
Assessment using these standards is no longer valid.
Expiring standards - are expiring on 31 December 2013.
Assessment against these standards may continue until 31 December 2013.
Replacement standards – standard setting bodies may identify replacement standards for expired, expiring and
discontinued standards, as well as for any standards that they agree to remove from the pathways.
Replacement standards with a pathway status of current means these standards are already included in the Vocational
Pathway.
Replacement standards with a pathway status of new will be formally added to the Vocational Pathway (applies
immediately).
The replacement standards are highlighted in yellow in the tables in Schedule 1.
Discontinued standards – are not valid and are not to be used.

Change of Domain (see final page for Reclassification of General Education Māori unit standards)
The Directory of Assessment Standards is constructed using the hierarchy Field >> Subfield >> Domain >> Standard.
A number of Field Māori standards are being reassigned to new domains, effective from 2014.
Tertiary education organisations and agencies may need to update materials for 2014 where references are made to
the domain name for these standards.
NZQA Review Process for Standards
To find out more about the review process for standards, please refer to NZQA’s website:

Annual Review of the Vocational Pathways
There is an annual review of the Vocational Pathways content (ie which standards are included within each
pathway). The first review will take place in early 2014.

Change of Domain - Reclassification of General Education Māori unit standards
NZQA contact: email mqs@nzqa.govt.nz
NZQA is the standard setting body for Field Māori standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards.
Due to the development of new achievement standards aligned to Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, the Māori medium
curriculum, NZQA has had to expire subfield General Education Māori and all its domains, and relocate the affected
standards into other subfields within Field Māori for the start of 2014.
This affects some of the Field Māori recommended standards within the Vocational Pathways. If you are used to
searching for standards on the framework by entering the name of the domain in the search field, you need to take
note of the new domains as set out below. There should be no changes if searching by standard name or number.
Tertiary education organisations and agencies may also need to update materials for 2014 where references are
made to the domain name for these standards.

Q&A
_________________________________________________________________
What if I have expired standards listed in my 2014 Vocational Pathway programme?
You can replace an expired standard with the “new” or “current” replacement standard. These are
highlighted in yellow in the tables above.
Alternatively you can choose another suitable standard from the pathway and include it in your programme
for 2014.
What if I have expiring standards in my Vocational Pathway programme?
For 2013:
Check the expiry date of the standard. If the standard in your 2013 programme is expiring you can:
Keep the standard in your 2013 programme and ensure all 2013 assessments are completed before the
expiry date listed on the standard.
If you are unable to complete assessments before the expiry date, you will need to:
Replace the expiring standard with a “new” or “current” replacement standard. These are highlighted in
yellow in the tables above.
Alternatively you can choose another suitable standard from the pathway.
For 2014:
Replace the 2013 expiring standard with a “new” or “current” replacement standard. These are highlighted
in yellow in the tables above.
Alternatively you can choose another suitable standard from the pathway.
What if I have expired or expiring standards in my Vocational Pathway programme and there isn’t a “new” or
“current” replacement standard?
Choose another suitable standard from the pathway.
For Tertiary Institutions
What if my current approval to award NCEA includes standards that are listed as expired, expiring or discontinued in
these tables?
You may need to apply to NZQA for approval of changes to your vocational pathway.
To do this, apply using NZQA’s on-line application process, using the “Other” type of application.
Please contact your NZQA (Tertiary) Sector Relationship Manager for assistance. They will be able to advise
you on how to manage a change to your current approval, if needed.
