Planned review date                                                                              December 2028

 

Summary

 

This is the first of two parts of the Forestry Level 4 unit standards.

 

Muka Tangata identified the Level 4 Forestry unit standards listed above that are scheduled for review in 2024 as part of the review of all Forestry qualifications and standards from May 2023-August 2024.  Consultation was conducted with industry, providers and NZQA representatives, determining that current unit standards will be rolled over until December 2028 and will be replaced with skill standards.  This is to ensure sufficient time is given for learners and providers to complete their current enrolled programmes.

 

Main changes

 

·      52 unit standards did not undergo full consultation and were rolled over to allow them to be used in programmes while further development of skill standards takes place.

·      The planned review date is extended from 31 December 2024 to 31 December 2028.

·      Standard setting body has been changed to Muka Tangata People, Food and Fibre Workforce Development Council from Competenz.
