Planned review date                                                                              December 2026

 

Summary

 

Unit standards were identified that had little usage in the last two years.  Consent to assess holders were contacted and asked if they anticipated using the units in the future.  Responses were received from consent to assess holders who had recently reported completions to retain two unit standards for future use in short courses.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standards 21388, and 21390 were updated to meet current technical requirements.

·      The remaining unit standards in this submission were expired due to little or no usage in the last two years, and no anticipated usage in the future.

·      Domains Poultry Management and Livestock Business will be set to expire once the units pass their last date for assessment as there will no longer be any unit standards registered in these domains.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2022

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022
