Learning State Limited has completed the review of the qualification and unit standards listed above.
Date report published March 2011
Summary
The qualification and unit standards listed above were reviewed as part of Learning State Limited's review schedule.
To date there has been minimal usage of the qualification and the unit standards. There are no learners enrolled in programmes leading to assessment against the unit standards or award of the qualification.
Consultation with the sector, which included the Public Service Association (PSA), indicated that there was very little support for the continuation of this qualification. As a result, it was decided that the qualification and unit standards would be designated expiring and would not be replaced.
