The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2018
Summary
These unit standards have been designated expiring due to low usage and because they are no longer fit for purpose. The existing qualifications containing these unit standards will be discontinued as scheduled.
The associated National Certificates listing these unit standards are being expired as the Conservation sector’s needs are better served by the current New Zealand Certificate in Conservation (Operations) (Level 4) [Ref: 2963].
Main changes
· The unit standards were designated as expiring.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020
