NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2010
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
These unit standards were reviewed as part of a scheduled review of unit standards in the subfield Business Administration to ensure that they are fit for purpose, national in scope, and technically sound.
Consultation for the review was initiated in January 2010, when expressions of interest in review outcomes and feedback on the unit standards were invited from stakeholder groups, including secondary schools. Organisations representing Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs), Private Training Establishments (PTEs), secondary schools, and government agencies were advised of the review and asked to disseminate the information to the stakeholders whose interests they represented. From the responses received, an initial working panel was established, including representatives from Industry Training Organisations (ITOs), PTEs, ITPs and secondary schools. The NZQA National Moderator for Business and Management also attended the meetings.
The review meetings were held in March and May of 2010, during which time the panel reviewed the standards in the domains Business Information Management and Business Information Processing. Unit standard review drafts were subsequently consulted on via the NZQA consultation web site. Stakeholders, Standard Setting Bodies (SSBs) whose qualifications were affected by the review, and providers with accreditation for the subfield Business Administration were informed of the web publication and encouraged to respond. Final drafts of the unit standards were endorsed by the panel and the relevance of all unit standards and the level and credits assigned confirmed. Feedback from providers and SSBs endorsed the recommendations for changes to the standards.
Main changes
· Occupational Health and Safety requirements were considered in the review of the unit standards and adjustments were made.
· The purpose statements were modified so that wording was consistent with the outcomes.
· The level of unit standard 6910 decreased from 4 to 3 and the credit values of unit standards 109, 110, 114, 6910 and 11646 were changed to better reflect the time required for candidates to acquire, practice, and be assessed as competent in the skills and knowledge specified in these standards.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
