Reason for the review
· Industry feedback was received from the Motel Association of New Zealand who demanded qualification development to facilitate access by their accommodation staff to National Qualifications.
· The skill set of motel housekeepers differs from those in Hotels and Motor Inns.
· Version 2 of the qualification was seen by the motel sector as not fully applicable to employees in their sector.
The two new unit standards in the 'Cleaning Skills' domain, covering the cleaning of windows and building exteriors which motel housekeepers and cleaners are required to undertake, were added to the qualification as an optional strand.
