Toi Mai Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above and the development of new skill standards.
Date new versions published March 2025
Planned review date December 2029
Summary
Exercise skill standards at Level 4 have been developed in response to industry feedback received in He rangi whawhati kō, he tau hāwere, the Toi Ora (Exercise) Workforce Development Plan (WDP) published by Toi Mai in June 2024. An action from the WDP was to produce skill standards for the New Zealand Certificate in Exercise (Level 4) [Ref: 3563] that emphasise practical application of business skills, interpersonal skills and practical coaching experience.
The first two skill standards (40047 and 40048) were approved in April 2024. A further three standards have now been developed to align to the New Zealand Certificate in Exercise (Level 4). These three skill standards will replace the seven Level 4 unit standards listed above which will be set to expire.
The standards were developed in consultation with industry and providers via WDP interviews, advisory meetings held in August and October 2024, and targeted consultation during October and November 2024.
Main changes
· Three new skill standards were developed.
· Seven unit standards will expire without direct replacement.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2027
