Summary

 

The above unit standards were registered in April 2015 as part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process.  It has since been identified by the key stakeholder Owens-Illinois New Zealand, as part of the programme development process, that the credit values were not correctly allocated.  A further check of unit standard content was also carried out.  This review was required to ensure that the unit standards and the associated programmes are aligned and correctly reflect the time required to become competent.

 

One new unit standard has been created.  This unit standard was developed as part of the 2014 review but was not submitted with the original batch in error. 

 

Main changes

 

·      The credit value of unit standards 28566, 28567, 28570 and 28571 has increased.

·      The title of unit standard 28571 was changed.

·      New unit standard 29277 was registered.
