Planned review date                                                                              December 2020

 

Summary

 

MQS has revised the unit standard to extend the review date to December 2020 to ensure the review of the unit standards follows the review of the Te Hiringa o te Taiao (Kaupae 4) [Ref: 2346] and Rumakihia te Taiao (Kaupae 6) [Ref: 2347] qualifications.  The qualifications’ review is scheduled for December 2019.

 

Changes have been made only where necessary to ensure each standard is current, and on the latest standard template.

 

Main changes

 

·      The standards were rolled over to extend their planned review dates from December 2019 to December 2020.

·      All unit standards were revised to update terminology, make minor amendments to the guidance information, and correct spelling errors (particularly macrons on Māori words).
