Summary
The review of these unit standards were initiated through their scheduled review and the
Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Environment Māori qualifications.
The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose and relevant. The
titles, purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements and
range statements in the unit standards have been amended to reflect this and to ensure
clarity for users.
The unit standards were reviewed by Whakaruruhau over four hui held in 2014 and 2015.
All amendments to the standards were endorsed by stakeholders and the Whenua and
Environment Māori Whakaruruhau.
The last date for assessment of superseded versions of the reviewed standards is
31 December 2017. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the
last date for assessment of superseded versions of the standard.
Unit standard 16367 expired in the last review and in this review unit standard 16370 has
been designated as expiring. The whakaruruhau have combined the two standards and
developed a new standard 29233.
