The Primary ITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Summary

 

These unit standards have little to no usage in the last two years.  Following consultation with industry stakeholders and consent to assess holders in a 2018 review it was confirmed that the unit standards were no longer required.  Consent to assess holders were contacted again in May 2021 and notified of their pending expiry.  There was no further feedback received.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standards were designated expiring due to little to no usage in the last two years, and no anticipated usage in the future.

 

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