Summary

 

Consultation on the reviewed unit standards 17037, 17040, and 17041 commenced in mid-2010.  Members of the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Training Team, including moderators, were sent copies of the unit standards and asked to check the content to ensure it was still fit for purpose, and to forward any suggested changes to the National Training Coordinator for collation.

 

These changes were incorporated and forwarded to the RDA National Training Team for their final approval.  The final versions of the unit standards were endorsed by the CEOs of the RDA and NZ Equine Industry Training Organisation.

 

Unit standard 23645 was revised to correct an error.
