NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          September 2014

 

Summary

 

NQS initiated the review of these unit standards, which were due for review in 2014, as part of the normal review cycle.  Due to the low use of the unit standards, NQS proposed designating them as expiring with an expiry date of 31 December 2016.

 

All providers with consent to assess against these unit standards were consulted about this proposal.  One provider has reported credit against these unit standards in recent years; this provider has indicated that it is not planning to use the unit standards in the future.

 

No other responses were received and the unit standards are not included in any national qualifications.

 

Main changes

 

The unit standards were designated expiring without replacement.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2016
