17159, 17226, 17228

 

Responsibility for the unit standards referred to above has been transferred from Tranzqual ITO to the Extractive Industries Training Organisation (EXITO).  EXITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date report published                                                                        October 2007

 

Reason for the review

 

During the development of Hazardous and Special Waste Management standards, it was identified that similar skills were included in the above standards.  Tranzqual ITO therefore handed over responsibility for the unit standards to EXITO.  EXITO then considered whether these unit standards were fit for purpose and determined that they were not.  It was noted that the standards had not been used since their registration in 2000.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

As a result of the review unit standards 17159, 17226, and 17228 have been designated category D and will expire December 2007.  There are no candidates currently enrolled in these unit standards and therefore there will no impact from the short timeframe for expiry.

 

Impact on existing provider accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

The standards have been moved from AMAP 0092 to AMAP 0114.
