Extension of Carpentry Qualification and Rollover of Unit Standards

Extension of Carpentry Qualification approved by NZQA in September 2022

The last date for assessment of the New Zealand Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4) [Ref: 2738] has been extended until January 2027, due to the number of enrolments in this qualification. This allows current learners to complete the current version of the qualification without having to transition to a new version.

Reasons for the review

The unit standards within the New Zealand Certificate in Carpentry are due for review. It is suggested that these unit standards be rolled over until 31 December 2023 when it is planned that they will be developed into Skill Standards.
