Date new versions published                                                          August 2015

Planned review date                                                                           December 2020

Summary

This revision and rollover was completed as part of the scheduled maintenance of these unit standards.

National Qualifications Services consulted with Assessment and Moderation Services to establish if there were any known issues with the unit standards identified during moderation.

National Qualifications Services also took into consideration direct feedback from stakeholders commenting on the sufficiency set by range statements in relation to the number of bars required. The recommendation was to increase the number of bars required in order for evidence across the standard to be generated in a more natural way.

Main changes

· Sufficiency statements were added as a range to Outcome 2 of unit standard 27656.

· Sufficiency statements were increased from at least twelve, to between twenty eight and thirty two bars in the range statement for Outcomes 1 and 2 of unit standard 27658.
