NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published January 2018
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
The review was initiated to ensure the standards continue to meet the needs of all stakeholders, including secondary and tertiary contexts, and are appropriately aligned to New Zealand qualifications, especially the New Zealand Certificates in Foundation Skills (Levels 1 and 2).
Two representative panels reviewed the standards, supported by an extensive e-mail network of stakeholders. Public consultation then endorsed the reviewed standards.
Main changes
· Many of the standards have been condensed to one outcome, and/or have reduced and/or simplified performance criteria, without substantially changing the overall outcome.
· Some standards have changes to level and/or credits, as identified in the table below.
· Category D standards have been recommended for expiry, as identified in the table below, principally because of low usage.
· Standard 16614 has been designated as expiring, as recommended by Business stakeholders.
· Standard 4248 has been replaced by new standard 30909.
· Standard 4255 has been recommended for expiry. Existing Financial Capability standard 28096 is suggested as a recommended alternative standard.
· Standards 4259 and 12350 have been jointly replaced by new standards 30907 and 30908.
· The Classification for standard 24871 was transferred since the focus has broadened from the workplace to a general focus.
· Three further new standards have been developed, as included in the table below.
· Reference to assessment support material has been removed from the standards, in light of the proposal to redevelop support material along different lines.
· Standards 9695 and 9696, problem-solving, were included in this review at the request of the recent review of Communication Skills standards, and have been reclassified into domain Self-Management.
· The standards reflect the new template, where Explanatory notes are renamed Guidance information, and Evidence requirements become Performance criteria.
· All new and Category B standards have been transferred to CMR 0113.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2019

Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)
