Summary

Skills Active has undertaken a review with industry of the above unit standards and made minor changes to reflect current industry practice and terminology, and the latest NZQA template.

During the review, a gap was identified by industry and Skills Active has developed a new unit standard for Yoga to meet this industry demand.  Through consultation, this standard was developed to meet the needs of group fitness instructors teaching yoga in an exercise setting.

Main changes

· Titles were amended for consistency of language.

· Outcomes and performance criteria were amended for readability and alignment with current industry practice and terminology.

· Guidance information was updated to reflect current legislation and industry expectations, and definitions were updated to align with current industry practice and terminology.

· New unit standard 32050 was developed to meet an identified gap for this class type.

· Standards were moved from an expiring Fitness domain to the Fitness Assessment and Exercise Instruction domain.

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022
