NZQA Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published December 2010

Planned review date December 2015

Summary of review and consultation process

The unit standards listed above have been reviewed as part of the MQS planned review cycle, to ensure they are current, clear, logical, and fit for purpose.

Hui were held in October 2007 and August 2008. In March 2010 the Whakaruruhau was increased to include the national moderator and providers assessing against the unit standards. During these hui, the Whakaruruhau considered:

· the currency of the unit standards

· the accuracy and appropriateness of the content of the unit standards

· whether the levels and credit values correspond to the outcome of the standards.

The review confirmed the relevance of the unit standards; however, a number of standards have been designated expiring due to low or nil usage.

The final versions of the standards have been endorsed by the Whakaruruhau.

Main changes

· Credit value for unit standards 10671 and 10694 was increased from 8 to 10 credits to better reflect the time taken for candidates to learn and be assessed against their outcomes.

· Credit value for unit standard 10670 was increased from 8 to 12 credits to better reflect the time taken for candidates to learn and be assessed against their outcomes.

· Level for unit standard 10673 was increased from 5 to 6 and the credit value was increased from 6 to 10 credits to better reflect the complexity of, and time taken for candidates to learn and be assessed against, its outcomes.

· Unit standards 2601-2603, 2605-2607, 10668, 10669, 10672, 10674, 10676-10684, 10686-10688, 10690-10693, 10695, and 19940 were designated expiring (category D) due to minimal usage and were no longer being required by the industry.

· Unit standard 2604 was replaced by unit standard 27101. The new unit standard is essentially the same as the replaced; however, the outcome about providing financial advice (deemed a legislative risk for the SSB) was removed.

· Explanatory notes were amended to clarify specific terms and concepts, and to update legislation and reference material.

· Titles, purpose statements, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were amended to ensure consistency and clarity.

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2012
