Summary

 

The majority of these unit standards was reviewed at the same time as the National Certificate in Construction (Leading Hand) (Level 4) [Ref: 1130] and the National Certificate in Construction (Supervisor) (Level 5) [Ref: 1131].

 

Consultation took place in 2010 and consisted of Industry Working Party meetings of representatives from InfraTrain NZ, Creative Trades ITO, Flooring ITO, Joinery ITO, Building Service Contractors ITO, ElectroTechnology ITO, the Consortium of Polytechnics, and the interior systems, floor and wall tiling, cement and concrete, and plastering industries.

 

The aim of the review was to ensure that the unit standards remained fit for purpose and were able to be used as assessment tools for candidates working in various contexts in a variety of construction-related industries.  Responsibility for unit standard 9662 was transferred from InfraTrain NZ to the BCITO; this unit standard was also reclassified.

 

Unit standard 20735 was not reviewed, but was instead rolled over because it will be reviewed in later 2011 as part of the development of a new qualification.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standard 9662 was reclassified from the lapsing Construction Technology domain to the Construction Management domain.

·      Unit standards 13067 and 20737 were replaced by unit standards 27188 and 27187 respectively.

·      Unit standards 17515, 17516, 20736, 20739, 20740, 20742, 20743, 20744, 20745 and 20746 had changes to their titles.

·      Unit standards 17515, 17516, 20736, 20739 and 20743 had changes to credits in accordance with changes to content and in response to feedback from previous usage.

·      Unit standard 20738 was designated expiring without replacement.

·      New unit standard 27186 was developed.

 

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013.
