Skills Active Aotearoa has completed the review of the unit standards above.
Date new versions published April 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
The review of these unit standards was prompted by the outcomes of the mandatory review of qualifications, specifically the listing of:
· New Zealand Certificate in Mountain Facility Operations with strands (Level 3) [Ref: 3493]
· New Zealand Certificate in Snowgrooming (Level 4) [Ref: 3494]
· New Zealand Certificate in Snowmaking (Level 3) [Ref: 3495]
· New Zealand Certificate in Snowsport Equipment with strands (Level 3) [Ref: 3499]
· New Zealand Certificate in Snowsport Equipment with strands (Level 4) [Ref: 3500].
Feedback from stakeholders was gathered through an open consultation process and used to guide the development of the industry training programmes for the qualifications above, and the development and review of the associated unit standards.
The reviewed unit standards were found to no longer be fit for purpose, relevant nor aligned with outcomes listed in the new qualifications.
New unit standards were developed to meet industry needs for snowsport area operations and snowsport equipment.
Main changes
· Seven unit standards were designated expiring and replaced by three new unit standards.
· 14 unit standards were designated expiring without direct replacements.
· 20 new unit standards were developed.
