Competenz has completed the reinstatement and change of expiry date of the unit standards listed above.
In 2012 new unit standards were written to supersede these unit standards, however the new unit standards have been deemed unfit for use. Competenz have worked with subject matter experts from industry and developed a new set of unit standards. While they are being quality assured, and new resources are being developed for learning and assessment purposes, industry have chosen to continue using the unit standards noted above. As these standards expired at the end of December 2014 they have also been reinstated.
The qualifications that result from achieving these unit standards are also under review to align more with on-job practices that industry has identified.
All changes are in bold.
