Main changes
· Guidance Information was updated across all unit standards, including legislation, definitions, references and assessment information.
· Unit Standard 19491 had outcomes 5 and 6 combined into the new outcome 5. This was done to simplify and improve the later outcomes while still ensuring the core skills and knowledge are appropriately covered.
