Ringa Hora Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2025
Planned review date December 2030
Summary
Ringa Hora, in collaboration with industry and providers, has completed a scheduled review of the listed unit standards. This review was conducted between July – August 2025, with stakeholders contributing via online meetings and email feedback.
The 18 unit standards that were reviewed so providers can continue to use them. Industry confirmed they remain fit for purpose and aligned with current practices. 31 unit standards are being expired due to low or no usage, or because they were primarily used in programmes leading to the New Zealand Certificate and Diplomas in Business (Levels 3 to 6). These qualifications underwent a review during 2024-2025. Ringa Hora is currently developing skill standards to be listed under these domains, supporting the updated versions of the New Zealand Business qualifications, and other programmes.
Main changes
· Minor updates were made to Guidance Information to include link to Te Tiriti o Waitangi assessment materials for reviewed unit standards.
· 31 unit standards were expired without replacement.
· Title, outcome and performance criteria of unit standard 18337 were updated for clarity.
· Performance criterion 1.3 of unit standard 18336 was updated for clarity.
· Performance criterion 1.4 of unit standard 27567 was updated for clarity.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2028.
