Summary

 

The review of these unit standards was prompted by the outcomes of the mandatory review of qualifications, specifically the listing of:

·            New Zealand Certificate in Pre-choreographed Group Exercise (Level 3) [Ref: 3582]

·            New Zealand Certificate in Freestyle Group Exercise (Level 4) [Ref: 3565].

Feedback from stakeholders was gathered through an open consultation process and used to guide the development of the industry training programmes for the qualifications above, and the development and review of the associated unit standards.

 

New unit standards were developed to meet industry needs for pre-choreographed and freestyle group exercise.
