Skills Active Aotearoa Limited has completed the review of the unit standards listed above. The unit standards highlighted in bold have not been reviewed but revised and rolled over to extend their currency until they can be reviewed in 2011.
Date new versions published April 2010
Planned review date for unit standards 6571-6574, 13380 December 2011
Planned review date for all other unit standards December 2013
Unit standards categorised as category C or D expire at the end of July 2012.
Summary of review and consultation process
The review of these unit standards was undertaken as part of the review of the National Certificate in Sport (Coaching) (Level 4) [Ref: 0444] and the National Certificate in Sport (Umpiring-Officiating) (Level 3) [Ref: 0445].
The purpose of the unit standard and qualification review process was to ensure that the qualifications listed above, as reviewed, are aligned with the Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) Coach Development Framework in terms of the knowledge and skills required for sport coaches - referred to as 'developing coaches' in the SPARC Coach Development Framework - and Calling the Game: Developing Quality Officiating, the SPARC national framework for developing sports official's knowledge and skills. Special notes in the reviewed unit standards indicate where and how the unit standards align with these frameworks.
The Industry Advisory Groups for this review determined that the SPARC Development Frameworks provided the broad curriculum against which realistic and relevant level 3 and above sport coaching and officiating qualifications and associated unit standards were to be developed and reviewed.
It will be up to individual National Sport Organisations to adapt the guidance and resources associated with the SPARC Development Frameworks to their own sport situation or situations and to ensure training and education programmes for their developing coaches or officials meet the requirements of the appropriate unit standards, if they wish to engage with the National Qualifications Framework.
The extensive nature of this review has meant that a large number of unit standards have been determined to be of no further value to the industry and were expired.
Main changes resulting from the review
· All revised standards have been updated to match new template and to transfer to AMAP 0099
· Unit standard 20673 has been updated, including change of title and an increase in level to bring it in line with NZQA level descriptors.
· Unit standard 6572 - entry information has been updated.
· Unit standard 6573 - prerequisite removed.
· Unit standard 6574 - recommended prerequisite removed.
· 24 unit standards have either been replaced or designated as expiring.
· Nineteen new unit standards have been developed as a result of this review and are listed in the table at the end of this report.
Impact on AMAP
