Responsibility for the levels 5, 6 and 7 unit standards referred to above, which were registered in February 1998, and for the qualification, which was registered in February 1999, has been transferred from NZQA – National Qualifications Services to InfraTrain New Zealand Ltd.  The rationale for the transfer was that these unit standards aligned with the upper level Technology unit standards for which InfraTrain New Zealand Ltd was already responsible.

 

The review of the unit standards is planned to take place during 2005.
