Summary

 

FITEC consulted with industry and training providers during the review of these unit standards.

 

The review revealed that the unit standards are no longer used and industry did not express a need to retain these unit standards.

 

At the same time as the review four new standards were developed to fill current industry gaps.

 

Main changes

 

All the unit standards were designated expiring and will not be replaced as they were no longer fit for purpose or required by industry.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
