The NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above that were registered in November 1998.
Date review completed March 2005
Summary of review and consultation process
In 2002, NZQA took stock of the qualifications and unit standards it is responsible for developing. A prioritisation and rationalisation exercise carried out by NQS in September 2002 aimed to rationalise the work of NZQA to ensure that the unit standards and qualifications NQS is responsible for are relevant, useful and meet the current needs of learners, providers, the community and government.
Careful consideration was given to the process to ensure that the unit standards retained by NQS reflect national priorities including those expressed in the Tertiary Education Strategy and Statement of Tertiary Education Priorities (STEPS).
NQS has considered the Records Management unit standards that are part of field Business. The Business and Management Advisory Steering Group that advises NQS in this area has endorsed NQS's decision to deregister the records management unit standards, subject to consultation with stakeholders.
Accredited providers and stakeholders were contacted to advise of the decision to designate the unit standards as expiring because they had never been used. Feedback from stakeholders including the Records Management Association of Australasia (RMAA) and providers has identified little interest in retaining these standards and a recommendation to allow them to lapse was agreed to. All of these unit standards have now passed their expiry date.
There are no qualifications affected by the decision to deregister these unit standards. NZQA will relinquish standard setting responsibility for all Records Management unit standards by December 2005. This is the last date that the unit standards can be used for assessment purposes.
