Review of Tourism qualification - New Zealand Certificate in Tour Guiding (Level 4)

Review of Tourism qualification – New Zealand Certificate in Tour Guiding (Level 4)

Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council has reviewed the New Zealand Certificate in Tour Guiding (Level 4) [2203] and submitted it to NZQA for evaluation in June 2024.

We engaged with the sector and worked with a review panel to inform the review of the qualification and to recommend changes.

 The main changes proposed as a result of the review are:   

• Change from 45 credits to 40 credits for the qualification 
• Minor changes to the GPO, without affecting the intent
• GPO 1 credit value was increased from 5 credits to 10 credits to better reflect the needs of industry
• GPO 2 credit value was reduced from 15 credits to 10 credits to better meet the needs of industry
• Amendments to reflect NZQA requirements for listing qualification
• Updates to the assuring consistency requirements section

Following consultation on the draft reviewed qualification, an application was submitted to NZQA for evaluation and approval in June 2024. Once approved the new version of the qualification will be published on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF).
