Date new versions published                                                          April 2008

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2013

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

The unit standards were due for review.  The Casino Cashiering Advisory Group comprised of representatives from casinos of New Zealand, Service Food Workers Union, and SEA-Unite.  The aim was to determine and discuss whether existing unit standards were still fit for purpose and to identify any gaps within them.

 

Drafts of unit standards were circulated to the Casino Cashiering Advisory Group for feedback.  All feedback collected was considered and, where appropriate, incorporated into the unit standards.  Several drafts were developed in order to accommodate the needs of stakeholders.  The Casino Cashiering Advisory Group then endorsed these.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·           Level 3 unit standards 14688, 14690, and 14692 had their credit values increased to more accurately reflect the time needed to learn the skills.

·           Level 4 unit standards 14694, 14695, 14696, 14697, 14698, and 14699 had their credit values increased to more accurately reflect the time needed to learn the skills.

·           Credit value of unit standard 14687 was decreased from 6 to 4 to reflect the time needed to learn the skills.

·           Unit standard 14699 increased to level 5 from 4 to reflect managerial and supervisory responsibility.

·           Legislation was changed in special notes.  The Casino Control Act 1990 and the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1977 were replaced by the Gambling Act 2003.

·           Amendments were made to titles, elements, performance criteria, ranges, and special notes as required.
