Skills Active Aotearoa has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2021
Planned review date December 2026
Summary
These unit standards were reviewed as part of a scheduled review for the Recreation and Sport subfield to ensure that all unit standards are fit for purpose and reflect current industry needs and expectations. Many of the standards were beyond their scheduled review date.
Skills Active undertook analysis of these standards and identified that many are no longer being used and have not been awarded in three years or longer. Following an open consultation process the decision was made to expire these unit standards as they no longer align with industry need. Five of the standards have been updated and reviewed, and were consulted on in August 2021 with support to continue their listing.
Main changes
· 34 unit standards were designated expiring due to low or no usage.
· Titles, guidance information, outcomes and performance criteria of the Category B unit standards were amended to ensure they are fit for purpose and aligned with current industry practice and terminology.
· The level and credit of unit standard 22768 was amended to more accurately reflect the time taken to learn and demonstrate these outcomes and differentiate it from another unit standard 31677 (not covered in this application).
· Credit of unit standard 27629 was amended to more accurately reflect the time taken to learn and demonstrate the outcomes.
· Unit standards were updated to meet current template requirements.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023.
