Muka Tangata Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2022
Planned review date December 2026
Summary
The Primary ITO reviewed Landscape unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the updated qualification graduate outcomes.
Level 4 and 5 Landscape unit standards were reviewed according to their planned review date. Further amendments to unit standards were suggested by industry to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Key industry stakeholders involved with the landscape industry and consent to assess holders collectively made up the External Working Group (EWG) which met by Teams in May and June of 2021. Unit standards were discussed, and changes recommended to ensure current industry requirements were met.
Unit standards were sent out for wider stakeholder consultation in October 2021 by online survey. Feedback was collated, and changes incorporated where valid.
Main changes
· Ten unit standards were designated expiring as they are no longer required by industry.
· Titles were amended for unit standards 997, 1016, 1025, 1676, 12399, and 31083 to better reflect content.
· Credits were increased for unit standards 1018, 2442, 12399, 22199, 22205, 22206, 31085 31116 and 31137 to reflect the additional specialised learning and assessment required to achieve competency.
· Three new unit standards were developed to cover sketching and interpreting landscape plans and developing a materials list.
· Unit standards were transferred from CMR 0032 to CMR 0052.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023
