The NACCQ executive has approved a recommendation from the CD&M; working group, made at the November meeting, that CBC becomes a level 5 diploma.
The suggestion that CBC becomes DipICT (Diploma in Information & Communication Technology) has the following rationale:
1. The proposed name change will bring the level 5 CBC qualification into line with the NZQA Framework qualifications where levels 1 to 4 are certificates and levels 5 and above are diplomas.
2. Potential computing and IT students, the majority of whom are school leavers, are
familiar with the NQF NCC level 2 & 3 quals. This will help our students better understand the relationship between level 5 diplomas currently offered by PTEs and our NDBC family of quals. (I had a recent case where a student who had just completed CBC was considering enrolling in a PTE level 5 diploma in computing...ironic considering that the courses offered were originally derived from the Blue Book).
3. ICT is the abbreviated term in common use throughout the primary and secondary school system and is becoming the term commonly used in various computing and IT publications.
Please note that while the exec. support the proposed change from a certificate to a diploma it has not agreed to the name ICT as this is still up for discussion.
No changes are planned for the DipBC and NDBC names.
The CD&M; working group invite you to comment on the proposal, which will be submitted for ratification at the 2002 conference in Hamilton.
