Diploma Review: Advanced Diploma in Health Sciences (Naturopathy, Nutrition) (Level 7) [Ref:3727]

Toitū te Waiora is reviewing the Advanced Diploma in Health Sciences (Naturopathy, Nutrition) (Level 7) [Ref:3727].

Current version: The Advanced Diploma in Health Sciences (Naturopathy, Nutrition) (Level 7) [Ref:3727] was initially developed in 2017 as a ‘local’ qualification.

Why change? Toitū te Waiora, the Community, Health, Education, and Social Services Workforce Development Council, is converting existing level 7 Diplomas within its gazetted coverage into New Zealand Diplomas, following instruction from NZQA.  Toitū te Waiora will take on the developer role of the new qualification, and it will be reviewed on a five-year cycle. It will also be subject to the NZQA consistency review process.

Once NZQA approves the new qualification it will be available for all providers to use via the conventional Toitū te Waiora programme endorsement process, followed by an application for approval and accreditation via NZQA.

Changes: The main changes are:

  • change of qualification title to: New Zealand Diploma in Health Sciences (Level 7)
  • addition of qualification details required in the current NZQA template.

The proposed reviewed qualification document is available here.

Toitū te Waiora, welcomes any feedback about the proposed reviewed diploma. Email us at [email protected]  by close of business on 22 January 2024.
