MITO New Zealand Incorporated (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process, it became necessary for MITO to review a number of motor industry unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the outcomes listed in new qualifications.
The review of these unit standards has resulted in updated outcomes and performance criteria that reflect current industry practice and the Graduate Profile Outcomes listed in the new qualifications.
MITO’s automotive industry working group has endorsed the changes made, and the development of new unit standards. Representation in the working group included subject matter experts, industry representatives, provider representatives and MITO representatives. The new unit standards were circulated in the working group’s greater networks and all feedback was actioned where appropriate.
Main changes
· 28 unit standards were reviewed and replaced with 18 new unit standards.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020.
