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

 

Summary

 

These unit standards were due for review.  It was identified that these unit standards had had little or no usage over the past five years, and were, therefore, considered to no longer be required.

 

All organisations with consent to assess against these standards were advised of the intended expiry and no objections to the proposed expiry were received.  Feedback was also invited through a consultation period on the MITO website during March 2018, and no feedback objecting to the proposed expiry was received from the consultation.

 

Main changes

 

The unit standards were set to expire without replacement.

 

These Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020
