The NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Inc) (MITO) has extended the expiry dates of the unit standards listed above.

 

New expiry date                                                                                   December 2017

 

Date new versions published                                                          October 2013

 

Summary

 

These unit standards were reviewed and designated as expiring without direct replacement (Review Category D).  Standards 8920, 21632 and 21633 expired in December 2012 and standards 17534 and 17535 expire in December 2014.

 

It was intended that the qualifications affected by the expiry of these standards would be reviewed and the expiring standards replaced.  However, due to the mandatory reviews that are underway in these industry sectors, the affected qualifications will now remain in use until the mandatory reviews are completed and the new qualifications and programmes are available.

 

As a result, MITO has extended the expiry date of these standards to 31 December 2017 to ensure that the affected qualifications remain achievable until the mandatory review of the qualifications has been completed.

 

Main change

 

·      Standards 8920, 21632 and 21633 were reinstated and the expiry date was extended from 31 December 2012 to 31 December 2017.

·      The expiry date for standards 17534 and 17535 was extended from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2017.
