Reason for the review, revision and rollover

 

A review of the unit standards in the Marketing subfield was undertaken from February to August 2008.  As part of this review, the panel determined that the unit standards in the Marketing - Import and Export Services domain, with the exception of unit standard 2963, were not generic but specific to the logistics industry and, therefore, within the standard setting responsibility of Tranzqual ITO.  Consequently, unit standards 2962 and 2964-2966 were revised, with minor edits, to reflect changes to legislation and organisational nomenclature, and rolled over and reclassified to the Freight Forwarding domain in the Logistics subfield under the responsibility of Tranzqual ITO and unit standard 2963 was reviewed.

 

Main changes resulting from the review, revision and rollover

 

·          The Marketing - Import and Export Services domain was designated expiring (lapsing).

·          Unit standard 2963 was reclassified to the Business Law domain.

·          Unit standards 2962 and 2964-2966 were reclassified to the Freight Forwarding domain and standard setting responsibility was transferred to Tranzqual ITO.  These unit standards were rolled over to maintain their currency until they are reviewed.

Summary of review and consultation process

 

A review of unit standards in the Advertising, International Marketing, Marketing - Import and Export Services, and Marketing Research domains occurred from February to August 2008 as part of the wider review of unit standards and qualifications in subfield Marketing.  The review panel, comprising representatives from industry and the ITP, PTE and university sectors considered the unit standards in terms of usage, duplication, credit parity, and current industry practice.  In tandem with the review of the unit standards, the review panel also considered the classification structure of the Marketing subfield.  The panel proposed a rationalisation of the classification system, recommending expiry of the Advertising, Marketing - Import and Export Services, and Marketing Research domains, and either expiry of the unit standards therein or their review and reclassification in other Business field domains.

 

The unit standards in the Advertising domain have had limited use since 2003.  On consideration of the unit standards in this domain, the panel identified significant issues of duplication between these unit standards and comparable unit standards in the Generic Marketing domain.  The panel also determined that 'advertising' was not a generic but an industry specific marketing subject and, therefore, outside NQS standard setting remit.  Consequently, the review panel recommended that the Advertising domain and all the unit standards therein should be designated expiring.  However, after consultation, the Communications and Media Industry Training Organisation (CMITO) requested retention of the classification to assist future development of advertising unit standards by industry, though expiry of the existing unit standards was supported.

 

The unit standards in the International Marketing domain have had limited use since 2003.  The panel considered that of the International Marketing unit standards, only unit standard 2957, with substantial changes, would be fit for purpose.  The panel recommended expiry of unit standards 2958-2961, replacement of unit standard 2957 by unit standard 26254, and development of new fit-for-purpose unit standards in this domain during the next review of the Marketing subfield unit standards.

 

While marketing research is still an important marketing function, the panel considered that current practice warranted reviewing the unit standards in this domain using the term 'business research' and reclassifying them in the Organisational Direction and Strategy domain.  The panel also felt that there was significant duplication in this domain which required a rationalisation of the unit standards.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·          Expiry of unit standards 5504-5526 in the Advertising domain.

·          Expiry of unit standards 2951 and 2953-2955 and the Marketing Research domain they are classified under.  Unit standard 2952 was replaced by unit standard 26255 which was classified in the Organisational Direction and Strategy domain.

·          Expiry of unit standards 2958-2961 in the International Marketing domain.  Unit standard 2957 was replaced by unit standard 26254.

 

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
