Competenz has revised the expiry dates of the unit standards listed above.  The standards that had expired have been reinstated as expiring with new expiry dates (in bold in the table above); and the standards that were expiring have been rolled over with new expiry dates.

 

Date new versions published  June 2007

 

New expiry dates    December 2011 or 2012 - see tables below

 

Reason for the revision

 

These standards had all been reviewed as Category C or D at different times over recent years, and they have now expired or are expiring.

 

Subsequent to the review of these standards, a number of qualifications in which they are listed, have been replaced or reviewed, or are in the process of being reviewed.  Final dates of award for the old versions of these qualifications are 31 December 2011 or 2012.

 

Revision of the expiry dates is necessary in order to maintain credit worthiness of the old standards, allowing trainees to complete the qualifications being phased out.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The expiry dates of the standards have been updated.

 

Impact on existing provider accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

AMAP 0013 has been updated to reflect the new expiry dates.

 

Impact on existing qualifications

 

None.

 

The following tables show the old and revised expiry dates.
