ServiceIQ has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
The standards in this domain were due or overdue for review. They were examined, over a period of six months by a group of tourism industry advisers, who conferred and came to a consensus.
The review process was channelled through the Sector Manager – Tourism who compiled feedback from the team and clients. These standards were then endorsed by the advisory group as fit for use in the tourism industry.
Main changes
· Unit standards 17747, 17750, 17751, 17752, 17753 and 17754 were found to be no longer fit for purpose, and were designated expiring without replacement.
· Titles, legislation, and outcome statements for standards 17748 and 17749 were amended.
· A last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B reviewed standards was specified.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2019
