Kia ora

We're writing to you because you are working with staff who have enrolled in the Health Assistance and/or Support Work Strands of the NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing, and both programmes have been updated following a review of these qualifications in 2019.

These
updated programmes will be open for enrolments from 18 July 2022:

  1. The NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) Health Assistance; and
  2. The NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) Support Work.

The current programmes (version 1)

  • Enrolments close on Friday 15 July 2022.
  • Programmes expire on 31 December 2022.
  • We ask that you encourage your trainees to have their assessments completed and signed off by mid-November. They will otherwise be rolled-over onto version 2 of the programmes.
  • Trainees who need to be rolled over, will then need to complete up to 2 additional compulsory unit standards (see below*)
  • Assessments relating to unit standards in version 1 will also expire on 31 December 2022.  Trainees with partially completed assessments at 31 December, will need to transfer this information to the assessments for units in version 2 of the programme.
  • Unit standards already achieved (via version 1) will be automatically recognised as achieved in the trainee’s training record for version 2 of the programme.

The revised programmes (version 2)

  • The number of compulsory unit standards across both programmes has increased from 3 to 5. The two new compulsory unit standards are:
*US 28557 – Communicate to support a person’s health and wellbeing in a health or wellbeing setting
*US 32418 – Describe Te Tiriti o Waitangi, The Treaty of Waitangi, and a bi-cultural approach in a health and wellbeing setting.
  • Learning resources and assessments for 27 of the units in the programme will be available on the Careerforce Resource Library (via iportal) and Aka Toi from 18 July.
    (this includes the compulsory units and a number of electives)
  • There is no change to the overall programme credit value (70).
  • The average recommended time to complete the programme remains at 12 months.

We will also be emailing trainees enrolled in these programmes to advise them of these changes.

If you need more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us or your Careerforce Workplace Advisor.
