The NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          June 2011

 

Summary

 

Supplementary to the process to align assessment standards at New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) Levels 1-3 to the New Zealand Curriculum, NQS took a stock-take of associated unit standards at NZQF Level 4.  The Classical Studies unit standards at Level 4 were first registered in October 1996 and revised in July 1999, but have not been reviewed since then.  The unit standards have individually had either no or minimal usage since 2006.  With this in mind NQS has recommended these unit standards for expiry.
