Summary

 

Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council has reviewed the unit standards listed above.  As part of the rollout of skill standards, the review panel agreed to create a new suite of skill standards to support the aviation industry.

 

Development and consultation occurred from June to August 2025 with the involvement of subject matter experts from aviation and training providers, by email and through online meetings, to co-create new aviation skill standards and consider feedback to ensure the new skill standards would be fit for purpose.  Changes were made to the skill standards from feedback and confirmed by the subject matter experts.
