Summary

 

The review of these unit standards was prompted by the outcomes of the mandatory review of qualifications, specifically the listing of:

Feedback from stakeholders was gathered through an open consultation process and used to guide the development of the programme of industry training for the qualification above, and the development and review of the associated unit standards.

 

New unit standards were developed to meet industry needs for exercise instruction for individuals.

·         Fourteen unit standards were designated expiring and not replaced.

·         Six new unit standards were developed.
