A number of core compulsory standards will expire on 31 December 2009, although version 10 of the qualification will not expire until 31 December 2014. The majority of the expiring standards are completed in the first year of training and therefore should be completed prior to their expiry date, however reverse transition for these expiring standards has been included to ensure that no candidates are disadvantaged.
Version 10 of this qualification contained standards that have been replaced by other standards.
