Muka Tangata WDC has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2021
Planned review date December 2026
Summary
Key industry stakeholders involved with the equine industry and consent to assess holders were contacted in July 2021 by online survey and invited to provide feedback on the amended unit standards. Minor changes to unit standards were recommended from the consultation process and these were incorporated to ensure current industry and technical requirements were met. There were no changes to unit standard outcomes.
Main changes
· Unit standards were updated to meet current technical requirements.
· ‘Under close supervision’ in titles of unit standards 29166, 29167, 29168, and 29171 was removed as the level indicates the level of supervision expected.
The last day of assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2023
