NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
These eighteen graded unit standards were reviewed as part of the regular review cycle, by a panel of stakeholders supported by an e-mail network who offered feedback and advice.
Main changes
· Grading criteria was simplified and clarified, to achieve better consistency of language and approach throughout the standards, without making material changes to the intent.
· The title of 27851 was amended, to clarify rather than to change (refer to the table below).
· The standards reflect the new template, where Explanatory notes are renamed Guidance information, and Evidence requirements become Performance criteria.
