Connexis has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published April 2021
Planned review date December 2026
Summary
As part of the qualification review resulting in the listing of the New Zealand Certificate in Wind Farm Maintenance (Level 4) [Ref: 3793] (version 2), Connexis identified unit standards that required review. Consultation occurred with stakeholders from May to December 2020.
Main changes
· Five unit standards were no longer required for the programme leading to the reviewed qualification and were designated as expiring without replacement.
· New unit standards were developed to address training needs at levels 2, 3 and 4.
Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2022
