NZQA National Qualification Services has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published June 2021
Planned review date December 2025
Summary
Sixteen unit standards in these domains were designed explicitly for assessment leading to the award of either:
· New Zealand Certificate in Business (Introduction to Team Leadership) (Level 3) [Ref: 2453] or
· New Zealand Certificate in Business (First Line Management) (Level 4) [Ref: 2456] or
· the core compulsory section or Leadership and Management strand of:
o New Zealand Diploma in Business (Level 5) with strands in Accounting, Administration and Technology, Human Resource Management, Leadership and Management, Marketing and Sales, and Project Management [Ref: 2459] or
o New Zealand Diploma in Business (Level 6) with strands in Accounting, Administration and Technology, Human Resource Management, Leadership and Management, Māori Business and Management, Marketing and Sales, and Real Estate [Ref: 2460].
Following the review of these qualifications, the unit standards were reviewed to align with the qualifications’ amended outcomes and changed conditions. Seventeen other standards in the domains were reviewed as part of their regular review cycle.
All stakeholders, including those with Consent to Assess, were informed of the review and invited to participate. A representative review panel was convened that reviewed the unit standards in the second half of 2020. Users of the standards supported the review, and all other stakeholders were advised of the outcomes by email and through national consultation on the NZQA website. There was no objection to the outcomes.
Main changes
For the standards linked to the reviewed qualifications:
· The unit standard outcomes and performance criteria were amended to reflect the reviewed graduate profiles in the qualifications.
· The Guidance Information in the standards was revised to reflect the amended conditions in the reviewed qualifications.
· Credits were reallocated among the standards linked to each qualification, to better reflect the relative importance of the outcomes and the realities of programme delivery.
· Unit standard 29039 was replaced by two smaller standards.
· The content of 29054 was incorporated into 29052 and 29053 and, therefore, 29054 was expired.
For the standards not linked to the qualifications:
· Outcomes and performance criteria were clarified to better express intent.
· Legislation and other external references and links were updated.
· Credits for standard 8495 were increased from 3 to 4 in order to reflect a more realistic credit allocation arising from actual use of the standard.
· Credits for standard 27557 and 27564 were decreased from 4 to 3 and from 10 to 8 respectively in order to reflect more realistic credit allocations arising from actual use of the standards.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023
