Friday 3 October 2025 is the last date for Toi Mai to receive quality assurance applications as we move towards disestablishment at the end of the year, as part of the Government’s Vocational Education and Training system reforms.

We expect the quality assurance work to be transferred to the new Industry Skills Boards and/or the New Zealand Qualifications Authority in 2026. The close-off date applies to:

• programme endorsement applications (including type 2 changes)
• micro-credential support applications
• consent to assess applications
• pre-moderation (approval of assessment resources).

The usual 20 working day turn-around timeframe will apply.

The last date for the New Zealand Qualifications Authority to receive programme applications for 2026 delivery is Saturday 4 October. We recommend these are submitted to Toi Mai before the end of August to allow time for WDC programme endorsement.

If you have any questions or concerns about the process, please feel free to contact us:

Programme endorsement and micro-credentials [email protected]

Consent to assess and pre-moderation [email protected]

Thank you for your cooperation.
