NZQA National Qualifications Services has completed the revision and rollover of the unit
standards listed above.
Date new versions published
August 2015
Planned review date
December 2020
Summary
This revision and rollover was completed as part of the scheduled maintenance of these
unit standards.
National Qualifications Services consulted with Assessment and Moderation Services to
establish if there were any known issues with the unit standards identified during
moderation.
National Qualifications Services also took into consideration direct feedback from
stakeholders commenting on the sufficiency set by range statements in relation to the
number of bars required. The recommendation was to increase the number of bars
required in order for evidence across the standard to be generated in a more natural way.
Main changes
 Sufficiency statements were added as a range to Outcome 2 of unit standard 27656.
 Sufficiency statements were increased from at least twelve, to between twenty eight and
thirty two bars in the range statement for Outcomes 1 and 2 of unit standard 27658.
