Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council (WDC) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2024
Planned review date December 2028
Summary
Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council has reviewed ten existing unit standards and created four new skill standards designed to align with some of the graduate profile outcomes (GPOs) of the New Zealand Certificate in Security (Foundation) (Level 3) [Ref: 3642-2]. Further work is being undertaken to develop more skill standards in this area.
Development and consultation were carried out from mid to late 2023 with subject matter experts from New Zealand’s security sector, industry association, and training providers, by email and through online meetings, to co-create new security skill standards and consider feedback to ensure the new skill standards would be fit for purpose. Changes were made to the skill standards from feedback and confirmed by the subject matter experts.
Main changes
· Ten unit standards were set to expire without replacement as they will no longer be required.
· Four new skill standards were developed that are aligned with GPOs of the qualification.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2026
