Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council has revised the unit standards listed above to extend the Last Date for Assessment of previous versions.

Date new versions published July 2024

Planned review date (no change)                                                               December 2027

Summary

The revision is to extend the most recent last date for assessment (LDA) of unit standards from 31 December 2024 to 31 December 2025 at the request of several provider organisations. The request was based on allowing sufficient time for current learners to complete learning and assessment as well as providers time to align their programmes to the new versions. During consultation with advisory group that included industry and providers, they also approved the last date for assessment extensions for previous versions. This was part of a combined review of the retail, sales and distribution qualifications and standards.
