NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2012

Summary
In response to the tertiary sector request to retain these standards, NQS has reviewed these three standards. Unit standard 2781 has been reviewed to address duplication with Level 1 achievement standard 91070. Unit standards 18753 and 18755 have been reviewed to ensure they remain fit for purpose and national in scope.
Main changes
· Ranges and evidence requirements have been amended to clarify requirements of the standards
· Standard 2781 has been reworded so that for assessment purposes this standard is a practical demonstration of knowledge
· Standard 18753 title, outcome 2 and its evidence requirements have been amended to better reflect sector requirements
· Standard 18755 explanatory note 3 definition for minor problems was amended
· Standard 18755 has been amended to clarify the processes for rectifying the minor problem according to organisational requirements.
