Summary
As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process, Primary ITO has reviewed a number of unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the outcomes listed in new qualifications. Primary ITO has also developed a number of new unit standards to meet industry need and reflect the outcomes listed in the new qualifications.
Key stakeholders and organisations with consent to assess have had the opportunity to review these unit standards and offer feedback. This consultation was through an online survey which ran for three weeks in June 2016. All feedback was actioned where appropriate.
Main changes
· Three unit standards have been replaced by two new unit standards. These unit standards have been marked as Category C.
· Eight unit standards have had Category B revisions.
· One new unit standard has been written.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2021
