Summary
In March 2022 a wide range of industry members (11 companies) and all providers with consent to assess were contacted and invited to participate in the review. It was the intention of the review to maintain the usefulness of the unit standards in the interim until they are replaced by skill standards. Feedback was received on the suitability of the standards for the purposes of the industry. Several standards had not been used and were designated to expire. The changes were notified to the group and no further changes were required.
