MITO New Zealand Incorporated (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          September 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.  MITO also replaced a number of existing unit standards where there was a likelihood that they would not be used in the environment of the 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

 

·      Seven unit standards were reviewed.

·      Six new unit standards were developed.

·      Two unit standards were designated expiring without replacement.

 

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020.
