The Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation (ATTTO) has changed the expiry date of the unit standard above.

 

Date new version published                                                             January 2009

 

New expiry date                                                                                   December 2011

 

Reason for the change to expiry date

 

Unit standard 18280 was reviewed as part of the review of the National Certificate in Tourism and Travel (Core Skills) (Level 3) [Ref: 0876].  It was designated Category C in January 2008, and was due to expire in December 2009.  However, during the current review of the National Certificate in Travel (Level 3) [Ref: 0112] it was discovered that this expiry date would make that qualification unachievable before its last date for assessment of 31 December 2011.  As a result, the final date for assessments to take place for standard 18280 has been extended to 31 December 2011, this will allow the National Certificate in Travel (Level 3) [Ref: 0112] to be achieved until its last date for assessment.
