The NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Incorporated) (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.  The unit standards in bold have been revised and rolled over.

Date new versions published                                                          September 2015

Planned review date                                                                           December 2020

Summary

As part of the development of new qualifications for the stevedoring and ports industry, MITO’s Port Operations Working Group reviewed the standards listed above.

The review of these standards has resulted in updated outcomes and evidence requirements that reflect current industry practice.  The review has also reconsidered the levels of the standards to ensure they reflect the NZQF level descriptors, and to make sure they will align with the Graduate Profile Outcomes in the New Zealand qualifications in Port Operations.

The Working Group has endorsed the changes made to the standards.

For those standards that were rolled over, it was decided that these unit standards should not be reviewed at this time as there were no changes required and that they should be held over until the next strategic review of the units.  However, some revision was done to ensure that all references were current.

Main changes

• Purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were amended to ensure they are accurate and fit for purpose and to ensure clarity for users.
• The level of standards 19843, 20055, and 25100 was increased to better align with the NZQF level descriptors.
• The credits for standards 11506, 11508, 19843, and 20055 were increased to better reflect the time required for learning and assessment.
• The title of standard 19845 was changed to reflect changes made to the content.
• Eighteen new standards were registered.
• Standard 25101 was designated expiring and replaced by standard 29123.
• 47 standards were revised and rolled over with no change to classification, title, level, or credits.
• A last date for assessment for all superseded versions of current unit standards of 31/12/2017 was specified.

Category C unit standard 25101 will expire at the end of December 2017
