Following on from a meeting with a representative industry group to gather their consultation feedback, new drafts of the standards are available.

Responsibility for the following standards and their review were transferred from the NZ Hair and Beauty Industry Training Organisation (HITO) to Toi Mai in October 2021. We have worked with HITO, who began the review in 2021, to get the standards to this stage.
The standards were originally designed for use as assessment tools for reviewed Hairdressing qualifications at Levels 3 and 4. Standards have been reviewed and developed to ensure they continue to align with graduate profile outcomes of the recently updated qualifications, published in February 2021.
