NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the rollover of the unit standards listed above.  The unit standards shown in bold have also been revised.

 

Date new versions published                                                          April 2013

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2016

 

Summary

 

These unit standards have been revised and rolled over to extend their period of listing on the DAS until the current review of Business qualifications has been completed, when all Business unit standards will be reviewed in light of the new qualifications.

 

Stakeholders were consulted and agreed with this approach.  Consequently changes have been made only where necessary to ensure currency and assessability, in response to stakeholder feedback.

 

Main changes

 

·      Amendments to clarify the intention of the standard and so to assist assessment have been made in unit standard 7456 (evidence requirements 1.3 and 1.4), unit standard 8087 (range statements for outcomes 1 and 2), and unit standard 19022 (outcome 4).

·      Minor editorial amendments were made to the remaining revised unit standards to update terminology and ensure consistency.

·       A last date for assessment, December 2016, has been set for previous versions of these unit standards.
