InfraTrain 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.

 

Date standards reinstated                                                  November 2007

 

New expiry date                                                                     December 2012

 

Reason for the reinstatement

 

These standards had all been reviewed as Category C or D in October 2004, and 2005, and had expired.  However, there were still a number of qualifications in which they were listed, that were in the process of being reviewed.

 

A change to the expiry dates was necessary to maintain credit worthiness of the old standards in order to allow trainees to complete the currently registered versions of qualifications, and to allow for transition.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The expiry dates of the standards have been extended.

 

Impact on existing provider accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

AMAP 0101 has been updated to show the reinstated the standards.

 

Impact on existing qualifications

 

The following InfraTrain NZ qualifications are affected and are currently under review.  It is anticipated the reviews will be completed by December 2008.
