Creative Writing qualification review

Toi Mai will continue the mahi started by Toi Ohomai of reviewing four Creative Writing qualifications. Thanks to Toi Ohomai for leading this work to date.

The qualifications part of this review are:

  • New Zealand Certificate in Creative Writing level 4 [Ref: 3407]
  • New Zealand Diploma in Writing for Creative Industries level 5 [Ref: 3408]
  • New Zealand Diploma in Creative Writing level 6 [Ref: 3409]
  • New Zealand Diploma in Editing level 6 [Ref: 3410].

We understand from the usage and success data provided by NZQA that neither the Certificate in Creative Writing nor the Diploma in Editing have been offered by providers.

Consequently, we propose to expire both of those qualifications unless there are any objections.

The two other qualifications continue to be attained by a steady stream of graduates, and we are also interested to know if they have the skills that industry needs.

Review updates

Updates will be posted on this website. If you wish to receive email updates and be consulted on the proposed changes to these qualifications and/or make contact regarding this review, please email [email protected]
