Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published August 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
The unit standards were reviewed to meet Competenz’s ongoing unit standard review schedule. The review was carried out during March – May 2017. Any feedback that may have been received from industry training managers, technical experts, assessors and users was considered. The format was bought up-to-date. No material changes were made. Changes were endorsed by the industry technical group.
Main changes
· Guidance information notes and unit standard format were updated and aligned with the latest NZQA template.
· Title changes of prerequisite or recommended for entry unit standards were updated.
The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022
