If you're planning to submit a Consent to Assess application, please aim to do so by 1 September 2025. While Ringa Hora will still accept and process applications after this date, they can't guarantee they'll be processed before the NZQA deadline or their wind-down at year-end.

We have pulled together the following useful links and information. If we've left off a link, please let us know, and we'll add it to our kete
NOTE: Level 1 Hospitality is part of the Base Scope of Assessment for Schools (BSAS) - this means there is no requirement to extend your Consent to Assess (CTA) beyond the BSAS. If you are thinking of starting a Hospitality program at your school, this is a great place to start! For all your program delivery & teaching needs - check out our Level 1 Hospitality program! From there, you can expand into Level 2 and 3 in subsequent years.
More on the BSAS can be found here.
NOTE: Level 3 Hospitality - Not all Unit Standards at Level 3 require a commercial kitchen.
