Learning State (trading name of the Public Sector Training Organisation) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2009
Planned review date December 2013
Summary of review and consultation process
The review process was undertaken during 2007 and 2008. Consultation with and feedback from Career Services, career practice professional organisations and associations including CPANZ and CATE, career practice professionals, tertiary institutions, accredited providers and workplace assessors has been incorporated in the review of these unit standards and the three Career Practice qualifications. Each unit standard was analysed for currency of industry practice, clarity of expression, accessibility of content, eliminating restrictions to achievement, updating references, evaluating levels and credit value, and fitness for purpose. Submissions from industry were taken into account during the review process and other stakeholders were contacted to review drafts. The changes to the unit standards and the qualifications were endorsed by the Career Practice Advisory Group in May 2008.
