Date report published June 2008 I:\Audit\ReviewSumTemp\revsumjun08-08.doc 30/06/2008 Page 2 of 13 Summary of review and consultation process In 2002, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) took stock of the qualifications and unit standards that it is responsible for developing. A prioritisation and rationalisation exercise carried out by National Qualifications Services (NQS) in September 2002 aimed to rationalise the work of NZQA to ensure that the unit standards and qualifications for which NQS was responsible were relevant, useful, and met the current needs of learners, providers, the community, and government. Careful consideration was given to the process to ensure that the unit standards retained by NQS reflected its responsibilities in relation to the Industry Training Act 1992, and national priorities including those expressed in the Tertiary Education Strategy and Statement of Tertiary Education Priorities (STEP). The decision was made for NQS to exit from standard setting responsibilities in the area of Film and Television and Performance Production. After consultation with the sector, a decision was made to retain 13 unit standards from domain Film and Television Foundation Skills and Film and Film and Television Camera. The standards involved are: 10197-10199, 10203, 10225, 10239, 10263, 10264, 10303, 10314, 10318, 10353, 15118. A review panel comprising members of Secondary Schools, Tertiary Institutes, and Private Training Establishments, along with a freelance industry practitioner and the National Moderators for Film and Television and Drama, met to review the Film and Television sector unit standards. There was also consultation with various peak bodies, including the Broadcasting Standards Authority, Advertising Standards Authority, and Copyright Council. Other standard setting bodies (SSBs) affected by this review were also consulted. As a result of the review a decision was made to reclassify the majority of the retained standards to the Media Studies domain and continue the review of them alongside other Media Studies standards in order to avoid duplication and deal with any issues of level and credit parity. The remaining standards and qualifications have been designated as expiring. Main changes resulting from the qualification review All the following qualifications have been designated as expiring.
