Summary
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 May 2020.
Main changes
· Guidance Information was updated across all unit standards, including legislation, definitions, references and assessment information.
· Credit values for unit standards 12306, 12307, 12310, 29225 and 29570 were increased to better reflect the time required to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the outcomes of these units.
· The titles of some unit standards were amended to provide clarity and encompass all learning outcomes.
· 18 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
