Summary

 

Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council has reviewed the unit standards listed above. These unit standards were originally developed to meet the Certificate of Approval and are embedded in the graduate profile outcomes (GPOs) of the New Zealand Certificate in Security (Foundation) (Level 3) [Ref: 3642-1]. As part of the rollout of skill standards, the review panel agreed to create a new suite of skill standards to support programmes leading towards [Ref: 3642-2] onwards.

 

Development and consultation occurred from February to May 2024 with the involvement of subject matter experts from New Zealand’s security sector, industry associations, and training providers, by email and through face-to-face and online meetings to co-create new security skill standards and consider feedback to ensure the new skill standards would be fit for purpose. Changes were made to the skill standards from feedback and confirmed by the subject matter experts.

 

All unit standards are proposed to expire and replaced by the new skill standards.

 

Main changes

 

·         The three unit standards listed above were set to expire with a last date of assessment of 31 December 2026.

·         Three new skill standards were developed to replace the unit standards listed above.

 

Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2026
