InfraTrain New Zealand has revised the expiry dates of the unit standards listed above.  The standards that were expiring have been rolled over with new expiry dates.

 

Date new versions published                                                     January 2008

 

New expiry date                                                                              December 2010

 

Reason for the revision

 

These standards had all been reviewed and designated Category C or D in September 2006, meaning they were due to expire in December 2008.

 

Subsequent to the review of these standards, most of the qualifications in which they were listed were replaced.  The final date for the award of the replaced qualifications is 31 December 2010.

 

Extension of the expiry dates of the standards was necessary in order to maintain credit worthiness of the expiring standards, allowing trainees to complete the replaced qualifications.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The expiry date of the standards has been updated from 31 December 2008 to 31 December 2010.

 

Impact on existing provider accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)
