The Infrastructure Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published                                                          September 2014

Planned review date                                                                           December 2019

Summary

The review of these unit standards was initiated through their planned review and the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Electrotechnology triggered in 2013.

The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose and relevant to the Electricity Supply industry.  Industry representatives in the TRoQ Review Group were involved in the review and writing of these unit standards and have provided feedback on the versions that were reviewed.

Main changes

· The titles of unit standards 10543 and 20073 have been changed to better reflect the unit standard outcomes.

· The levels of unit standards 10550 and 20063 have been increased.

· The credits of unit standards 10547, 10550, 20061, 20063, 20071, 20072, and 20535 have been adjusted to reflect learning and assessment.

· Changes were made to outcomes, evidence requirements, ranges and/or explanatory notes to ensure delivery and assessment consistency.

· New unit standards 28276, 28277, 28278, 28279, 28280 and 28281 have been developed to meet the industry and qualification graduate profile outcome requirements.

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2016.  Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.

Impact on registered qualifications

Key to type of impact
Affected	The qualification lists a reviewed classification (domain or subfield) in an elective set The qualification lists a standard that has changes to level or credits The qualification lists a C or D category standard
Not materially affected	The qualification lists a standard that has a new title The qualification lists a standard that has a new classification

The following Infrastructure Industry Training Organisation qualifications are impacted by the outcome of this review and will be updated when they are reviewed as part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process.  The standards that generated the status Affected are listed in bold.

Ref	Qualification Title	ID
0869	National Certificate in Electricity Supply (Cable Jointer - Low Voltage) (Level 3)	10543, 20071, 20072,
0870	National Certificate in Electricity Supply (Cable Jointer - High Voltage) (Level 4) with an optional strand in Cable Jointer Advanced	10547, 10550, 20061, 20063, 20535, 23896

Key to review category
A	Dates changed, but no other changes are made - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
B	Changes made, but the overall outcome remains the same - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
C	Major changes that necessitate the registration of a replacement standard with a new ID
D	Standard will expire and not be replaced
