Summary

 

The review of the suite of Cadet Forces Generic unit standards was undertaken between July and September 2019 as required by NZQA to review and maintain currency.

 

A Working Group of key stakeholders took part in the review in face-to-face meetings and via teleconference.  The group consisted of representatives from New Zealand Cadet Forces, Skills Active, Ministry of Education and private training establishments. Comments and feedback from the group contributed to the review of the unit standards.

 

Main changes

 

·      Purpose statements were broadened to include learners who are interested in the New Zealand Defence Force.

·      All knowledge and practical requirements under the Guidance Information section were aligned to policy and training manuals of the services.

·      All Performance Criteria were changed to use the active voice.

·      Credit values were changed for four of the unit standards, 24098, 24099, 24100 and 24101 to reflect the number of learning hours required to complete the learning.

·      Title of unit standards 24098 and 24099 were changed to reflect correct name and requirements of types of foot drills.

·      Level was changed for unit standard 24100 to better reflect level of knowledge and skills demonstrated.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2021
