Summary

 

As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) process, Competenz has reviewed this unit standard to better reflect the requirements of the outcomes listed in new qualifications.

 

Meetings with subject matter experts and providers were conducted, identifying the required content and compared this content against existing unit standards.  It was identified that one unit standard required review and four new unit standards were required.  Drafts of each unit standard were circulated to industry and to providers who were invited to submit feedback.

 

Main changes

 

·      Wording of one unit standard changed to reflect terminology now in common use and to clarify assessment criteria.

·      As the result of the TRoQ process, four new unit standards were developed to align the skills required for managing trains to the graduate profile outcomes in new qualifications

 

The last date for assessment of the superseded version of the Category B unit standard is December 2018
