The Primary ITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2019
Planned review date December 2024
Summary
As a result of the review of the New Zealand Diploma in Field Hydrology (Level 5) [Ref: 2344-2], Primary ITO has reviewed these unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the updated qualification outcomes.
Consultation was carried out in mid-December 2018 where industry assessors had the opportunity to give feedback from an organised meeting. This feedback was addressed where appropriate.
Main changes
· Eight unit standards were updated to meet current NZQA unit standard template requirements.
· As a result of industry consultation, amendments were made to ensure unit standard content remained fit for purpose.
