Ringa Hora – Services Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2022
Planned review date December 2027
Summary
These unit standards were reviewed with all stakeholders and organisations holding consent to assess as part of the five-year review cycle. Four standards will be expiring due to not being used and not fit for purpose. All feedback and suggestions were considered and incorporated.
Main changes
· Standards 25971, 30190, 30194, and 30357 were set to expire.
· Contents of standard 30190 was merged with standard 30191 to avoid duplication. Standard 30191 now covers pre-flight checks for both national and international air cargo.
· Standards 30187, 30189, and 30191 had their titles updated.
· Prerequisites for standards 25960, 25961, 25962, 25964, 25967, and 25973 were removed to create more flexibility.
· Some performance criteria were amended.
· All ranges have been cleaned up for better usage.
· Standards 25965, 26362 and 27761 CMR moved from CMR 28 to CMR 125.
