Coversheet standard review - extractives

Summary

MITO is undertaking the scheduled five-year review of some Extractives standards listed with NZQA.

These standards are the registered New Zealand versions of Australian Units of Competency.  NZQA registers a ‘coversheet’ that links directly to the Australian Unit of Competency.  Each coversheet has its own NZQA ID number (like a unit standard).

Proposed amendments have been made to the coversheet standards, to update references and legislation, and to take in to account any changes in the Australian Units of Competency.

We invite feedback on the standards noted below to inform the review and to ensure they remain fit for industry requirements.

Consultation drafts are available. Please specify the standard(s) via email to qualificationcomments@mito.org.nz.

Submit your feedback to qualificationcomments@mito.org.nz by 5pm Thursday 29 October 2020.

Please use the feedback template available for download below.

If you require additional time, please let us know - qualificationcomments@mito.org.nz.
