Summary of review and consultation process
As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications, MITO has now completed the process of reviewing the above qualification with industry members. The review encompassed key representatives from the 4WD sector who determined that the qualification no longer meets the current or future needs of industry.

The review resulted in a recommendation that the national qualification listed above should be designated expiring without replacement.
