Expressions of Interest and feedback due: Friday 30th June 2023

PUBLISHED 06/06/23

Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council is commencing a review in July 2023 of New Zealand Certificate in Contact Centres (Level 3) [Ref: 2303 (nzqa.govt.nz)], New Zealand Certificate in Contact Centres (Level 4) [Ref: 2304 (nzqa.govt.nz)] and the following unit standards listed on the NZQA Directory of Assessment and Skill Standards (DASS) in Contact Centre Management and Contact Centre Operations domains, here are the links:

Domain – Contact Centre Management (nzqa.govt.nz)

Domain – Contact Centre Operations (nzqa.govt.nz)

We propose the review to take place during July and August to:

• ensure the qualifications are, and continue to be, useful and relevant to the sector.
• ensure the skills, knowledge and capabilities reflected in current unit standards are translated into new skill standards that are useful and relevant to the sector
• develop new skill standards to fill any gaps identified during the review
• support the implementation of the RoVE (Reform of Vocational Education) legislation and the Government’s decision to simplify New Zealand qualifications and other credentials.

The review will be conducted using a variety of methods including face to face and/or online meetings, individual interviews (face to face and online), email consultation, focus groups and workshops.

Each panelist will:

• have wide expertise, and credibility, and mana within the sector
• have experience with relevant unit standards
• understand and be committed to best practice in standards-based assessment
• be able to work collaboratively for the common good rather than just for own sector or interests
• be available for the scheduled panel meetings.

Collectively, the panel will, as far as possible, be representative of all stakeholder groups.
