In late July, the TEC Board formally approved the plan, the final of the 11 TITO transition plans presented to it.  Skills Active will transition its arranging training functions and learners to Te Mahi Ako (which recently received its PTE registration) on 1 October 2022.

Skills Active supports te ahumahi ā-rēhia – the active recreation, leisure and entertainment sector, which includes the exercise, outdoor recreation, community recreation, aquatics, sport, entertainment and events, and snowsport industries. Skills Active maintains over 50 training programmes. It supports about 5,000 learners and 1,700 employers, and employs 50 staff. 

To date, six TITOs have transitioned, with the remainder scheduled to transition between 1 September 2022 and 1 October 2022. This will be a very busy period for those TITOs, their receiving providers and those in TEC and NZQA supporting them.
