Summary of review and consultation process

 

Between October and December 2010, National Qualifications Services (NQS) conducted consultation with Standard Setting Bodies (SSBs) affected by the review of NQS Core Health First Aid unit standards.  It was proposed that all qualifications specifying expiring standards 6400‑6402 should have reverse transition included for the replacement standards 26551 and 26552, and that qualifications specifying the lapsing domain Core Health should have reverse transition included for the new First Aid domain.

 

Those SSBs that agreed to the proposal have had applicable reverse transition included in the affected qualifications.

 

The review of the First Aid unit standards was completed in December 2010.  For a copy of the unit standard review report please see First Aid Review.
