The National Qualifications Services of NZQA has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2008
Summary of review and consultation process
In 2002, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) took stock of the qualifications and unit standards that it was responsible for developing. A prioritisation and rationalisation exercise carried out by National Qualifications Services (NQS) in September 2002 aimed at rationalising the work of NZQA to ensure that the unit standards and qualifications for which NQS was responsible were relevant, useful, and met the current needs of learners, providers, the community, and government. Careful consideration was given to the process to ensure that the unit standards retained by NQS reflected its responsibilities in relation to the Industry Training Act 1992, and national priorities including those expressed in the Tertiary Education Strategy and Statement of Tertiary Education Priorities (STEPs).
The decision was made for NQS to exit from standard setting responsibilities for the Core Health unit standards listed above by 2007. There was extensive consultation with the sector, including providers and other standards setting bodies since 2002, and this confirmed the decision to designate the unit standards as expiring.
Main changes resulting from the review
All unit standards in domain Core Health listed above have been designated expiring.
First aid unit standards 6400, 6401 and 6402 classified in domain Core Health will remain on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Unit standard 5013 also classified in domain Core Health will remain on the NQF as it is under the standard-setting scope of the Community Support Services Industry Training Organisation.
Unit standards categorised as category C or D expire at the end of December 2012.
Impact on existing provider accreditations
None.
