Motor Industry	Automotive Transmission Systems	918, 919, 921, 926, 927, 935, 939, 957-959, 2316, 2318-2321, 2331-2333, 2336, 2342, 2343, 3380, 3385, 5441, 8185, 8186, 15415-15424

The NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Inc) (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published February 2008

Planned review date December 2012

Summary of review and consultation process

This review is part of a major review of the Motor Industry and Outdoor Fabric Product qualifications (QReview) being conducted by MITO. The QReview Steering Group endorsed these standards after major consultation was carried out covering a wide range of stakeholders through focus group meetings and followed by industry wide consultation. These standards will form part of the new qualifications for Vehicle Servicing, Automotive Electrical and Mechanical, Automotive Heavy Engineering, Automotive Specialist Engineering, and Automotive Body.

Main changes resulting from the review

· Credits increased from 6 to 8 in standard 8186; and decreased from 8 to 4 in standard 3385, and from 8 to 5 in standard 15416; to more accurately reflect the learning requirements.

· The level increased from 3 to 4 in standard 919.

· Standards 921, 2342, 2343, 5441, 8185, and 15417 were replaced by new standards that separate theory knowledge from practical outcomes.

· Standards 926 and 927 were collectively replaced by 24309-24313 to separate theory knowledge from practical outcomes and to split the different requirements of motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle transmissions.

· Standards 935 and 15420 were replaced by standard 24689 to remove duplication.

· Standards 958, 15421, and 15422 were collectively replaced by standards 24314 and 24690 to remove existing overlaps and for a more logical separation of skills.

· Standards 957 and 959 were each split and replaced by two new standards 24315 and 24316, and 24317 and 24318 respectively to separate diagnosis from overhauling.

· Standard 15419 was replaced by standard 24330, as there were significant changes to the content.

· Changes were made throughout the standards to titles, special notes, elements, performance criteria, and range statements to update terminology, and reflect changes in technology and legislative requirements.

· Standard 15423 was designated expiring and will not be replaced as it no longer meet industry needs.

· Seven new standards, 24331-24337, were developed to reflect new technology and fill gaps in the existing framework of standards.

Unit standards categorised as category C or D expire at the end of December 2011.
