IntraTrain New Zealand has changed the expiry dates of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          February 2008

 

New expiry date                                                                                   December 2012

 

Reason for the rollover

 

These standards had all been reviewed as Category C or D in June 2007 and were scheduled to expire on 31 December 2008.

 

Subsequent to the review of these standards, the qualifications in which they were listed were reviewed.  The last date for assessment of the reviewed qualifications is 31 December 2012.

 

Revision of the expiry dates was necessary in order to maintain credit worthiness of the expiring standards, allowing trainees to complete the replaced qualifications.
