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

 

Date new versions published                                                          August 2015

 

Summary

 

In 2015, NQS initiated the review of unit standards from the Teaching domain.  Despite low usage these standards were revised and rolled over in 2012 to allow for a review of secondary/tertiary interaction.

 

These standards have historically been used to assess practicing teachers for award of the New Zealand Diploma in Specialist Subjects (Secondary Teacher) Division 2.  The standards have not been used and the qualification is no longer being awarded so the decision was made to expire them.

 

Main changes

 

These standards have been designated expiring without replacement.

 

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