Summary

 

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

 

The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose and relevant.

 

The standards were reviewed by Whakaruruhau over four hui held in 2014 and 2015.  All amendments to the standards were endorsed by stakeholders and the Environment Māori and Whenua 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The last date for assessment of superseded versions of the reviewed standards is 31 December 2016.  Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of superseded versions of the standard.

 

Main changes

 

·         Changes to purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were made to ensure clarity for users.

·         Changes in levels and/or credit values were made to unit standards 6142 and 6143.

·         The entry information for 20325, 20326, and 20327 was amended for clarity.
