The Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Summary

 

The review was undertaken because the unit standards were due to be reviewed between 2003 and 2015. Most have low or no recent usage.

 

The providers with consent to assess were contacted and asked for feedback. The New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NZIQS) were consulted on the expiry of the unit standards.

 

There were no objections received to the proposed expiry of these unit standards from the peak body or the Providers.

 

Main changes

 

·      All unit standards listed were set to expire.

 

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