Summary

 

The review of the unit standards listed above was triggered by the regular 5-year review cycle, and part of the review of the New Zealand Diploma in Marine Vessel Project Management (New Build, and Refit) (Level 6) [Ref: 3127-3].

 

Hanga-Aro-Rau carried out the review to better align the unit standards to the graduate profile outcomes of the newly developed New Zealand Diploma in Vessel Technology Project Management (Level 5) [Ref: 5115] qualification.  Existing unit standards were reviewed, and development of new unit standards took place between August 2022 and February 2025.  Industry, providers and subject matter experts provided feedback and input into the review of these unit standards through online meetings and emails.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standard 9924 is set to expire and will not be replaced.
