Update from ITPNZ
Here's a quick weekly update from ITP CEO Paul Matthews
Consultation opened this week on the proposed updated computing and IT qualifications. These are the qualifications that are taught across New Zealand at Diploma and Certificate level, recognised on the NZ Qualifications Framework.
We're also really excited to announce another keynote for ITx Rutherford next month - Clarke Ching. Clarke is an international best-selling author, speaker and consultant on agile productivity. He has helped some of the world's best-known brands understand Agile, Lean and the Theory of Constraints, including Dell, GE Energy, Royal London, BskyB and more.
And if that's not enough, acclaimed entertainer and comedian Brendhan Lovegrove has been announced as the dinner MC - it's going to be a great night and an awesome few days.
