Terminology and content have been updated to better reflect the importance of te ao Māori.
Outcomes and performance criteria have been updated to reflect current industry practices and guidelines.
Guidance information – a new statement has been added to ensure that all learner activities and assessment is carried out in accordance with museum tikanga, policy, process and practice. This has allowed the previously repetitive wording in each performance criteria to be removed.

The following unit standards are proposed to be expired due to low usage and content being covered elsewhere in other standards:

20549	Develop a plan and explain compliance and implementation considerations for a museum public programme
20550	Project manage the implementation of a museum public programme
20552	Project manage the installation of a museum exhibition
