Connexis has completed the review of the unit standard listed above.
Date new versions published September 2019
Planned review date December 2024
Summary
Water industry representatives reviewed Unit 29924 during a review of the programme leading to the New Zealand Diploma in Water Treatment (Level 5) with strands in Drinking-Water, and Wastewater [Ref: 2245]. The group identified the need to describe the management of risks rather than to manage risks. In addition, a new unit standard was developed so that learners could demonstrate knowledge of all wastewater treatment methods rather than be limited to those methods used at their workplace.
The new unit standards were circulated to stakeholders for comment and were endorsed.
Main changes
· Standard 29944 was designated expiring and replaced with a new standard.
· Two new standards were developed to address the current needs of the Wastewater Treatment industry.
Category C unit standard 29944 will expire at the end of December 2020
