The NZ Marine and Composites Industry Training Organisation (NZMACITO) has completed the revision of the qualification listed above.
Date new version published July 2015
The next qualification review is planned to take place before December 2015.
Reason for the revision
A revision of this qualification was prompted by the expiry of unit standards 97, 100, and 1073. NZMACITO has revised the qualification so that learners are able to achieve the qualification thereby maintaining the achievability of this qualification. These standards were compulsory in the Interior and Exterior Marine Painting strand.
The opportunity was also taken to remove first aid standards 6401 and 6402 as industry confirms that graduates of this qualification need to be competent in health and safety requirements but not in the provision of first aid.
Main changes resulting from the revision
· Expired unit standards 97, 100, and 1073 were removed from the compulsory section of the Interior and Exterior Martine Painting strand.
· Expired unit standard 5231 was removed from the common elective list.
· Unit standards 6401 and 6402 were removed.
· The credit value for the strand Interior and Exterior Marine Painting, has decreased from 247 to 217 credits.
Transition
People working towards version 5 of this qualification may either complete the requirements of that version by December 2016 or transfer their results to version 6. Programmes leading to the award of version 6 of the qualification can start when this version is registered. All new candidates will be enrolled onto programmes leading to the award of version 6.
This qualification contains standards that have expired standards - unit standards 97, 100, and 1073. The outcomes of standards 97 and 100 are assessed by standard 11791. There is no replacement standard for unit standard 1073 which meets the need of industry. Therefore, there are no exemptions applicable.
