Skills Active has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new unit standards published December 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
The review of unit standards 4580, 4581, 4582, 4583, 4584, and 18133 was prompted by the outcomes of the mandatory review of qualifications, specifically the listing of:
· New Zealand Certificate in Snowsport Patrol (Level 4) [Ref: 3498]
· New Zealand Certificate in Snowsport Patrol Leader (Level 5) [Ref: 3497].
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 patrol.
Main changes
· Unit standard 4580 was replaced by unit standard 30836.
· Unit standards 4581, 4582, 4583, 4584, and 18133 were set to expire without replacement.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020
