Summary of review

 

This review was prompted by the expiry and replacement of some generic unit standards, and by feedback from providers, companies, users, and assessors after three years of industry experience with this qualification.  The new version was drafted in conjunction with the industry's Call Centre Advisory Group, and further comment was then invited from providers and industry.  The Advisory Group considered comments and endorsed version 2 of the qualification on 8 August 2003.
