The NZ Extractive Industries Training Organisation (EXITO) has completed the rollover of the unit standards listed above.
At the same time, the unit standards shown in bold above were revised and rolled over.
Date new versions published July 2010
Planned review date December 2012
Summary
These unit standards had passed, or were coming up to, their planned review date. As EXITO is still gathering feedback and input from assessors, moderators, and other stakeholders to inform a full review, these unit standards have been rolled over to maintain their currency in the interim.
At the same time, the unit standards were revised to ensure that legislation, references, and industry terminology are up to date.
Main changes
Changes were made to the purpose statements, special notes, elements, performance criteria and ranges of the unit standards to bring them up to date.
The Registration Criteria for National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Unit Standards have been reviewed and replaced with the Quality assurance criteria for the listing of unit standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards. The changes made to the criteria during this review reflect the replacement of the NQF and the Register with the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) and the Directory of Assessment Standards, the inclusion of criteria for grades, and changes to terminology and format of unit standards. The main changes to terminology are that:
The unit standards covered by this report have been published in the new format.
