Summary

 

Toi Mai Workforce Development Council undertook analysis of the above currently listed unit standards and identified that they are no longer being used and many have never been awarded. Following both targeted consultation with providers and industry, and an open consultation process via the Toi Mai website during April and May 2024 the decision was made to expire these unit standards as they no longer align with industry need.
