Tranzqual ITO has reinstated the unit standards listed above.  The unit standards are now expiring, and have been assigned a new expiry date.

 

Date new versions published                    October 2007

 

New expiry date                                             December 2008

 

Reason for the revision

 

Unit standard 3461 was reviewed and designated as Category D in October 2004.  It expired in December 2006.  Unit standards 18473 and 18474 were reviewed and designated as Category C in May 2004.  They expired in December 2005.

 

This created difficulties in relation to the National Certificate in Driving (Light Motor Vehicle) with an optional strand in Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Vehicle Driver [Ref: 0796] (Version 2) in that candidates part way through programmes leading to that qualification were unable to complete its requirements.

 

A change to the unit standardsâ' expiry dates was necessary to maintain their credit worthiness in order to allow trainees to complete the currently registered versions of the National Certificate in Driving (Light Motor Vehicle) [Ref: 0796].

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The expiry dates of the unit standards have been changed to align with the last date for assessment of version 2 of qualification 0796.

 

Impact on existing provider accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

AMAP 0092 has been updated to show the reinstated the unit standards.

 

Impact on existing qualifications

 

Version 2 of the following Tranzqual ITO qualification contains unit standards 3461, 18473 and 18474.  The last date for completion of version 2 is December 2008.
