The Motor Industry Training Organisation (Inc) (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
MITO’s Passenger Service Working Group considered the content of these unit standards in conjunction with the development of the new New Zealand qualification for passenger service. The draft unit standards were made publicly available for wider industry consultation, which included tertiary education organisations, throughout August 2014.
The review of these standards has re-aligned the level and credit values to ensure they reflect the NZQA level descriptors, the time required for learning, practice, and assessment to take place; and to ensure they accord rationally with the Graduate Profile outcomes in the New Zealand qualifications.
The Working Group has endorsed the changes made to the standards, and the proposed levels and credits were included within the industry-wide qualification consultation that took place in August 2014.
The level and credits for standard 1749 were increased to reflect the new outcome that has been included and to better align the outcomes to the NZQA level descriptors.
A new outcome was added to standard 20472.
The titles of standards 15949 and 20472 were changed to broaden the scope of use to include bus drivers as well as coach drivers.
The title of standard 15951 was changed to broaden its scope of use to all drivers of passenger transport vehicles.
Standard 19499 was reclassified from the Road Transport Operations domain to the Passenger Service domain. The title has changed and the credits reduced to reflect the removal of one outcome from the standard.
Explanatory note references and hyperlinks were updated for currency.
Minor amendments to some purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were made to ensure clarity for users.
