Careerforce is undertaking a scheduled review of Level 3 & 4 unit standards in the Youth Development domain.
The consultation for the associated programmes undertaken during the early part of 2020 indicated the outcomes to be generally fit for purpose, so the proposed amendments focus on clarifying language and bringing the standards in line with Careerforce’s current style and NZQA’s expectations for registration.
Please find the consultation notes (one for the Level 3 and one for the Level 4 units) showing proposed changes in titles and outcomes and include a set of targeted questions about some performance criteria and guidance notes.
