Summary

 

As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications, MITO reviewed and developed motor industry unit standards to meet the requirements of the New Zealand qualifications and to ensure they are fit-for-purpose for the automotive industry.

 

MITO was supported by the industry’s working group including subject matter experts and MITO representatives.  The standards were circulated to the working group’s networks and feedback was actioned where appropriate.
