The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                               March 2021

 

Summary

 

These unit standards were due for review in 2017.  They are used only to support New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services (Level 4).  That qualification has been reviewed and set to expire as there is no demand for it, and the training provider sector is not offering it to learners and does not plan to in the future.  Accordingly, usage of the unit standards has declined so they are now being set to expire at the same date as the qualification.

 

Main changes

 

·      The unit standards were set to expire with no replacement.

 

These Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023
