Summary

These unit standards were reviewed and designated to expire on 31 December 2017.  The last date for assessment of the expiring unit standards was extended to 31 December 2019.  The rationale for this extension was to align their expiry with the extension of expiry dates for qualifications 0001, 1043, and 1517.  The last date for enrolment for these qualifications was December 2015; however the programmes of training for the replacement New Zealand qualifications were not be ready for implementation by this date.  Therefore the last date for enrolment was extended to December 2017 and the last date for assessment to December 2019.

Main changes

Expiry dates were extended to 31 December 2019.
