Summary

 

The Tikanga Concepts unit standards were looked at as part of their review cycle.  The majority of the standards were reviewed and amended to ensure that they are relevant and fit for purpose, and that their outcomes are achievable, coherent, and consistent with valid assessment practices.

 

In addressing issues identified during the review process, the Whakaruruhau recommended that standards, which were no longer fit for purpose, be expired.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of the reviewed standards is 31 December 2019.  Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of superseded versions of the unit standards.

 

Main changes

 

·      The titles of unit standards 16032, 16041, 16044 and 16058 were changed in line with amendments made to the standards or to better reflect the standards’ outcomes.

·      Changes to purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were made to ensure clarity for users.

·      Credit values were increased for standards 16032, 16043 and 16054, and were decreased for standard 16038, in line with amendments made to the standards or to better reflect the time required for learning, practise, and assessment.

·      Unit standards 16035, 16037 and 16065 were designated expiring with no replacements.

 

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2019
