The NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Incorporated) (MITO) has reclassified and revised the standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          November 2007

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2012

 

Reason for the revision

 

Over the last few years, MITO has been undertaking a review of all of its standards and qualifications (QReview).  As a result of this review, several domains have been lapsed and, in some cases, replaced by new domains.  A number of standards registered early in the QReview now require reclassification to bring them into line with the new classifications.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The standards registered in the Automotive Preventative Maintenance domain have been reclassified to the Automotive Preventive Maintenance domain; and standards registered in the Engine Repairs domain have been reclassified to the Engines domain.
