Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council has completed the rollover and revision of the unit standards listed above.

 

Summary

 

In 2021, the unit standards listed above were replaced by a new suite of unit standards.  The last date of assessment for expiring unit standards was set at 31 December 2025.

 

In response to provider feedback, Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council has extended the last date of assessment for the expiring unit standards from 31 December 2025 to 31 December 2027 to align with the expiry date of the replaced qualification, the New Zealand Certificate in Electrical Engineering (Theory and Practice) (Level 4) [Ref: 2388].

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2027.
