National Qualifications Services has decided that the unit standards listed above, which were registered in January and October 1996 and September 1997, should have their period of registration extended.

 

The unit standards in bold have also been revised.

 

The reason for the rollover is to maintain the currency of the unit standards until they have been reviewed.

 

The review of these unit standards is planned to take place during 2007.

Summary of revision

 

The unit standards were revised to update legislation, make minor editorial amendments, and correct errors which had became apparent as part of National Qualifications Services rollover of unit standards.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

·        Legislation included in unit standard 5858 was updated.

·        Minor amendments have been made to unit standards 5855, 5857, 5858, 5865, 8417, 8420, 8424, 10931, 11047, 11051, 11053, 11055 for consistency or to correct typographical errors.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

The level 1-4 unit standards are now on AMAP 0226, which covers domains designated as Base Scope of Accreditation for Schools (BSAS).  AMAP 0226 has been updated to include these unit standards and AMAP 0086 has been withdrawn.

 

The moderation options have been updated to match accreditation and moderation action plans 0226 (levels 1 to 4 unit standards) and 0116 (levels 5 and 6 unit standards).
