The Toi Mai Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published August 2024
Planned review date December 2029
Summary
The review of these unit standards was carried out as part of the five-year review process and was completed in collaboration with schools, tertiary providers and industry. Feedback was gathered via targeted consultation using online hui and email during November and December 2023 and an open consultation process via Toi Mai’s website during April and May 2024.
Six standards were identified as continuing to meet industry need and were updated as detailed below. Five standards were identified as expiring without direct replacement.
Main changes
· Guidance Information updated including legislation (Privacy Act); ACC SportSmart materials; REPs Code of Ethical Practice statement; and references to Standard Exercise Schedules A and B removed as they are no longer used.
· The Standard Setting Body changed from Skills Active to Toi Mai Workforce Development Council.
· Standards 505 and 21794 have had outcomes reduced and range statements simplified to better reflect the content and the time required to achieve the outcomes of the standard. The title has been updated for 21794 and the credits decreased from 3 to 2. Both standards have had a classification change – 505 moves from expiring Fitness subfield and Fitness Education domain to the existing Exercise subfield and Fitness Assessment and Exercise Instruction domain; 21794 moves from expiring Fitness subfield and Exercise Prescription domain to the existing Exercise subfield and Fitness Assessment and Exercise Instruction domain.
· Standards 30933, 30935, 30447 and 21414 have had minor changes to some performance criteria and range statements.
· Five standards will expire without direct replacement. 30636 will expire given the overlap identified during the review of standards 30933 and 30447. Standards 4864, 6571, 18763 and 27299 will expire given the declining usage, and feedback indicating that the content is no longer fit for purpose.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2026
