The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published January 2008
Planned review date December 2011
Summary of review and consultation process
These unit standards were reviewed to incorporate changes overlooked in the previous review (April 2006). The post-assessment moderation process identified issues of consistency and difficulty of assessment for standards within the National Certificate in Plaster Board with strands in Fixing and Finishing and an optional Specialist strand [Ref: 0275]. The BCITO moderation team identified quality issues and made recommendations for improvement. These recommendations were then discussed and approved by a working party consisting of direct representatives from the Plaster Board industry.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Titles of unit standards 4326, 4327, 4335, 6067, 6118, 6119, 6120, 17582, and 22158 were changed to more accurately reflect the outcomes of the unit standards.
· Purpose statements were altered to match the elements and performance criteria.
· Special notes had definitions added to clarify requirements, and the 'industry practice' special note was reworded in unit standards 6067, 6119, 6120, 6121, 17581, and 17582, and added to unit standards 4327, 4331, 6118, and 22158. Legislation was updated.
· Performance criteria and range statements were amended to clarify assessment requirements.
· The final 'clean up' element was removed from unit standards 4331, 4335, 6067, 6118, 6119, 6120, 6121, 17581, and 17582, as it was considered to be superfluous. Performance criteria were reworded to include cleaning up as part of each task.
· A theory element was added to unit standards 6067 and 6118 to improve consistency throughout the reviewed standards.
