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The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022

 

Detailed list of unit standards – classification, title, level, and credits

 

Key to review category

A

Dates changed, but no other changes are made - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number

B

Changes made, but the overall outcome remains the same - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number

C

Major changes that necessitate the registration of a replacement standard with a new ID

D

Standard will expire and not be replaced
