NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the review, and revision and rollover, of the unit standards listed above.  The unit standard in bold has been rolled over

 

Date new versions published                                                               August 2019

 

Summary

 

These unit standards were last reviewed in 2016.  As part of the normal cycle of maintenance, a review panel examined the standards to determine if they were meeting identified needs and were useful and relevant to current and future learners and their employers.

 

As a result of the review, the panel recommended that unit standards 5223 and 26567 be expired because of low usage.  Stakeholders confirmed unit standard 5236 continued to meet identified needs and supported its revision and rollover.

 

Main changes

 

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2021
