NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published 21 May 2015
Planned review date 31 December 2019
Summary
MITO’s Mines Rescue Working Group, which includes representation from industry and tertiary education organisations, considered the content of these unit standards in conjunction with the development of the new New Zealand qualification for mines rescue.
The review of these standards has resulted in updated outcomes and evidence requirements that reflect current industry practice. The review has also re-aligned the levels to ensure they reflect the NZQF level descriptors, and to ensure they will accord rationally with the Graduate Profile Outcomes in the New Zealand qualification.
The Working Group has endorsed the changes made to the standards, and the expiry of standards 16696, 19860, and 19862.
Main changes
· The prerequisite entry information was removed from standards 16697, 19859, and 19864.
· Entry information was updated in standards 19858, 19861, and 19863.
· Standards 16697 and 19864 were moved from the Underground Extraction domain to the Extractive Industries Management domain.
· The level for standards19859 and 19864 was decreased to better align with the NZQF level descriptors following changes made to their content.
· The titles of standards 19858, 19859, and 19863 were amended to reflect changes made to their content.
· Standards 16696, 19860, and 19862 were designated expiring.
· Explanatory note references and hyperlinks were updated for currency.
· Purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were updated to ensure they are fit for purpose and to ensure clarity for users.
The last date for assessment of superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2017. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2017
