Summary

 

The review of these unit standards was initiated through their scheduled review and the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Tourism.

 

The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose and relevant to the Tourism Māori industry and meet graduate profile outcomes of the new Tourism Māori qualifications.

 

All changes were endorsed by stakeholders and the Tourism Māori Whakaruruhau.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of the reviewed standards is 31 December 2016.  Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of superseded versions of the standard.
