Summary

The unit standards were reinstated as expiring with an expiry date of December 2012 to avoid disadvantaging candidates who had completed the majority of version 2 of the National Certificate in Agriculture (Level 4) with strands in Arable Farming, Beef Cattle Farming, Dairy Farming, Deer Farming, and Sheep Farming [Ref 0986].  This will allow candidates sufficient time to complete that version and not need to transfer to version 3.

 

Main changes

 

The standards were reinstated with a new expiry date of December 2012.
