Detailed content of reviewed Qualifications

List of sector specific unit standards

The individual unit standard documents provide the detail of what will be assessed in each component of the national qualifications.  When an individual has achieved all the components through assessment or exemption they could be awarded the qualification.

Only parts of these documents are registered by NZQA, this includes the information on the introductory page, the element titles and the left hand of the three columns titled performance criteria. The middle and right hand columns title ‘Candidate’ and ‘Assessor’ provide the plain English explanation of what the candidate must do and the assessment criteria the assessor will use.

There are two ways you can provide your feedback on the component unit standards.

Notes regarding unit standards below:
The qualifications build on each other for example the advanced meat butchery qualification build on the knowledge and skills in the introductory qualification.  In the qualification documents the same unit standard may be compulsory across a range of qualifications or it may be an elective at the introductory level and compulsory at the advanced level. Please note this doesn’t mean you have to be assessed again once you have credit for a unit standard you have it for life in any qualification it may apply to.

Unit standards in black are the responsibility of the RMITO, unit standards in bold have been developed as part of the review and are not yet registered with NZQA. Both groups can be changed in needed and we’d value your feedback.

Non Retail Meat ITO unit standards in italics these cannot be changed by RMITO, please look up the detail by searching the NZQAs web site using unit standard number.
