Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                               May 2023

 

Summary

 

The review resulted in a decision to designate these unit standards as expiring due to low or non-usage for the last five years.

 

The recommendation for expiry was well canvassed by email to organisations with Consent to Assess obtained through the NZQA website.  There is good support for the expiry and no objections.

 

Main changes

 

·                The unit standards listed above are designated to expire without replacement.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2024
