Learning State Limited has completed the review of the unit standards and qualification listed above.
Date report published November 2010
Summary
This qualification and associated unit standards in the Public Sector Procurement domain were reviewed as part of Learning State Limited's review schedule.
To date there has been no usage of the qualification and minimal usage of the unit standards. Consultation with the sector indicated that there was very little support for the continuation of this qualification. Also, the expiry of unit standards 9674-9676 in December 2008, which were included in the qualification, made it unachievable.
As a result of the review the qualification, unit standards and the Public Sector Procurement domain will be designated expiring with no replacements.
