New expiry date                                             December 2011

 

Reason for the revision

 

These unit standards had all been reviewed as category C or D in recent years, and they have now expired or are expiring.

 

Subsequent to the review of these unit standards, the National Certificate in Commercial Road Transport (Goods Service) with strands in Heavy Rigid Vehicle Driver; and Heavy Combination Vehicle Driver; and with optional strands in Dairy Industry Transport; Log Transport; Overdimension and Overweight Load Transport; Bulk Flammable Liquids Transport; Bulk Liquefied Petroleum Gas Transport; and Civil Construction Transport [Ref: 0680] was designated expiring.  The last date for assessment for that qualification is December 2011.

 

Revision of the expiry dates of the above unit standards is necessary in order to maintain their credit worthiness, allowing trainees to complete the qualification that is being phased out.
