Version 2
This qualification was revised and issued as version 2 in August 2000 in
order to rectify an error. Unit standards 14607 and 14608 were not intended
to be part of the requirements for the On Site Practice strand. These unit
standards have been removed from the core compulsory section and are now
required for the On Site Theory and On Site Management strands only.
Any version of a unit standard contained within this qualification which
retains its original unit standard identification number will continue to meet
the requirements of this qualification.
