Summary

 

As a result of the Land Transport Amendment Act 2017, MITO has reviewed unit standard 17579.  The legislative change has resulted in significant changes to the small passenger services industry and the related passenger endorsement course.

 

MITO has also taken the opportunity to review unit standard 16718 which was due for review on MITO’s ongoing review schedule.

 

The review was carried out in consultation with, and endorsed by, representatives from the driver licencing industry, provider representatives, assessors and industry bodies.  All feedback was actioned where appropriate.

 

The review resulted in the recommendation to expire unit standard 17579 as it is no longer fit for purpose following the legislative changes.

 

Main changes

 

·      Changes were made to unit standard 16718 guidance information and a range statement to clarify assessment requirements and ensure alignment with current industry requirements and legislation.

·      Unit standard 17579 was designated expiring and will not be replaced.

 

The Category D unit standard will expire at the end of December 2017

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of the Category B unit standard is 31 December 2019.
