Summary

 

These unit standards were reviewed during March 2020 and May 2020 as part of the qualification and programme review for Maritime qualifications.

 

This review was completed through face-to-face meetings, video and phone calls, and via email with a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) consisting of industry experts and providers.

 

All feedback received prior to and during the review process were incorporated in consultation with the TAG.  These units were endorsed for registration by the TAG in June 2020.

 

Main changes

 

·      Guidance Information was updated across all unit standards, including legislation, definitions, references and assessment information.

·    The titles of unit standard 4117, 12301, and 29341 were amended to provide clarity and encompass all learning outcomes.

·      8 unit standards were designated expiring without replacement as they are no longer being used nor are they required by industry.


Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2021

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022
