Skills Active has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                               November 2019

 

Summary

 

Skills Active undertook analysis of currently listed unit standards and identified a number that have had minimal usage over the last 3 years, or were included in old-style qualifications (National Certificates) that are due to expire at the end of 2019.  In many cases new, more fit-for-purpose unit standards have recently been developed that cover the same or similar content areas.  Following an open consultation process, the decision was made to expire these unit standards as they no longer align with industry need.

 

Main changes

 

·      All unit standards were set to expiring without replacement.

 

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