12. Content and process for applications for approval to list micro-credentials on the NZQCF
Applications for approval to list micro-credentials on the NZQCF must contain the details set out in rule 6.1 and (where relevant) rule 7.
Applicants, in addition to supplying the details set out in rule 6.1, may:
for the purposes of rule 7 request that the micro-credential is listed in te reo Māori instead of or in addition to English:
request that Te Hono o Te Kahurangi quality assurance is used for assessment of the application, and answer the following pātai aromātai for the six kaupapa set out in rule 11.4 - Kei te tutuki te tono nei i ngā kaupapa o Te Hono o Te Kahurangi?
NZQA will not list a micro-credential that has a credit value of more than 40 credits and either -
is substantially similar to a qualification on the NZQCF; or
has outcomes that are more suited to being listed as a qualification on the NZQCF.
Where there are suitable skill standards on the Directory that fit with the listed purpose and outcome statement required by rule 6.1(d), those skill standards must be set out in the listing details for the purposes of rule 6.1(f).
