The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                                            October 2019

 

Summary

 

These unit standards have been designated expiring due to low usage and because they are no longer fit for purpose.  Organisations with consent to assess were consulted by email.  The existing qualifications containing these unit standards will be discontinued as scheduled.

 

The associated National Certificates listing these unit standards are being expired as the Conservation sector’s needs are better served by the current New Zealand Certificate in Conservation (Operations) (Level 4) [Ref: 2963].

 

Main changes

 

·      The unit standards were designated as expiring without replacement.

 

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