The Primary Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Summary

Unit standards were identified that had little or no usage over the last four years.

All consent to assess holders and providers who had reported completions were contacted in June and asked if they intended to use the unit standards, or if there was no intention to use them then their expiry was recommended.  Providers responded with indications that they intended to use a small number of unit standards in future and that these should be retained.

The unit standards that will be retained will be reviewed and updated later in 2020 and the remainder expired.

Main changes

· Unit standards were expired due to little or no usage in the past and no anticipated usage in the future.

Unit standards will expire at the end of December 2022
