Hi Vasi,

Yes-- good point and I agree, we need a definition of substantive change.

Within the New Zealand context and qualification framework, how would you define a substantive change? Would you like to propose a tentative definition for discussion?

Hi Wayne, i'm only familiar with NZQA rules and definitions and this is how they define minor - Type 1 and substantive - Type 2 changes. “Type 1 change” means one or more changes to components of an approved programme which do not impact on the programme as a whole: “Type 2 change” means one or more changes to components of an approved programme which do have an impact on the programme as a whole: More deteal can be found here; [ NZQF Programme Approval and Accreditation Rules http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/assets/About-us/Consultations-and-reviews/Rules-NZQF-listing-programme-approval/consult-rules-programme-app.doc]
