Competenz has decided that the domains referred to above should be included in the list of Base Scope of Accreditation for Schools (BSAS)[1].  The table above also shows the unit standards in the domains for the level specified when the BSAS was approved.  This means that all schools with BSAS accreditation will automatically be granted accreditation for the domain referred to above to the level specified in the table below.  Accreditation requirements for Schools will be in line with those governing conventional school subjects.

 

Date published                        April 2004

 

The BSAS list has been updated to include the following BSAS domains.

 

FIELD	Subfield	Domain	To Level
Engineering and Technology	Mechanical Engineering	Composites	2
		Engineering - Fabrication	2
		Engineering - materials	2
		Engineering - measurement	2
		Engineering core skills	2
		Engineering drawing and design	2
		Engineering Machining and Toolmaking	2
		Fluid Power	2
		Maintenance and Diagnostics in Mechanical Engineering	2
		Mechanical Assembly	2

 

The unit standards and the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan [Ref: 0013] have not needed amending because they already indicate that the ITO will not be involved in the accreditation process.
