APNZ advocates neutral ownership of national qualifications

"Ownership of national qualifications carries several responsibilities. These include maintaining their currency, maintaining student records and ensuring open access to all. Equally important functions are ensuring consistency of assessment... and providing information about them to both prospective students and employers. It is crucial that some neutral body maintains oversight and ultimate responsibility for these different functions..."

The Association of Polytechnics in New Zealand newsletter Polytechnic (Number 43, March/April 1999).

"We would argue for the opportunity to develop alternative programmes leading to the same national qualification. In particular, it is important that pre-employment programmes allow students to gain skills recognised by potential employers."

The Association of Polytechnics in New Zealand paper APNZ Position on Ownership of Qualifications (released May 1999).
