Summary

 

As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process, Primary ITO has reviewed the unit standards above to better reflect the requirements of the outcomes listed in new qualifications.

Key stakeholders and organisations with consent to assess have had the opportunity to review these unit standards and offer feedback. This consultation was through an online survey which ran for three weeks in October 2016. All feedback was actioned where appropriate.

 

Main changes

·      Twenty-one new unit standards have been listed.
