Review plan
All Standard Setting Bodies (SSBs) (of which ATTTO is one) have a five year cycle for existing qualifications (ie those registered on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework). This means that five years after a qualification has been registered, it will be looked at and a decision will be made as to whether to:
- Roll the qualification over - This means the qualification is still ‘fit for purpose’ and industry and stakeholders have advised us that we do not need to make changes.
- Revise the qualification - Minor changes need to be made which do not require consultation. An example of this would be where the stakeholder group have said the qualification is still fit for purpose but there have been some legislative changes which have affected some of the unit standards in the qualification.
- Review the qualification - The qualification is outdated and no longer fit for purpose. This requires a full consultation with stakeholders and can be a very lengthy process depending on the qualification and how complex it is, or how many changes need to be made.

A qualification may be revised or reviewed out of its normal five year cycle if industry indicates there are problems with a qualification, such as another SSB reviews a unit standard contained within our qualification which potentially makes the qualification unachievable.
