ServiceIQ has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published August 2016
Planned review date December 2021
Summary
The unit standards were reviewed under the supervision of industry experts from a variety of museum types, including the National Museum, large provincial museums, and specialist museums. The reviewed standards were endorsed by the group.
Main changes
· Explanatory notes on compliance and legal obligations were updated in all standards.
· The definition of Museum policy and practice was updated in all standards.
· New standards 29572 and 29571 were developed to recognise the acquisition of skills for exhibitions and public programmes at an introductory level.
· Minor technical changes were made to standards to match current museum practice terminology and processes.
· Standard 26083 was designated expiring and the content of standard 20542 covering preventive conservation was strengthened accordingly.
· The credit value of standard 20541 was increased to reflect the learning and assessment required to achieve competence in this area.
· The credit value of standard 20542 was increased to reflect the additional learning and assessment required for preventive conservation work.
The last date for assessment of superseded versions of category B unit standards is December 2018
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2018
