Summary of review and consultation process

The unit standards were reviewed because they had reached their planned review date.

A review panel of key sector representatives was established and meetings convened. Discussions included the current status of the sector, concern about the low usage of some of the unit standards, and changes in the sector since the last review which impact on training. Amendments were made to the currently registered unit standards and new unit standards were written to meet the current sector demands.

Draft unit standards were circulated for internal and external feedback. Suggestions arising from this consultation were incorporated where relevant and appropriate.

Final drafts were placed on the website and all stakeholders notified of the opportunity to offer feedback. No further feedback was received.
