National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the revision and rollover of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          February 2014

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2017

 

Summary

 

The standards above were due for review in 2014 and the mandatory review of qualifications in the Adult Education and Training and Generic Education and Training subfields is scheduled for 2014.  The combined effect of:

·         changes to unit standard format and terminology, and

·         the flow on effects of the mandatory review on the standards

led NQS to propose that the standards should be rolled over and reviewed in 2017 instead.

 

National Qualifications Services consulted with the sector and received endorsement for this approach.

 

Main changes

 

·      Planned review date amended to 2017.

·      The terminology in the standards has been updated and minor changes have been made for currency.
