At the request of the New Zealand Painting Contractors Association of Employers Industry Training Organisation (Painting ITO), the Qualifications Authority has changed the classification of the unit standards referred to above that were re-registered in January 2003 following their review.

 

Date new versions published                                                      January 2004

 

Rationale for the change

 

In consultation with the painting and decorating industry, the Painting ITO undertook a review of the National Certificate in Painting and Decorating [Ref:0021].  The industry wishes to focus the reviewed qualification on painting with optional strands so a new unit standard domain, Painting, has been established to support this development. 

 

Impact of the change on standards

 

The following unit standards have been affected by the change.  They have been amended to show the new domain, Painting, and published as new versions.

 

Id	Title	Level	Credit
1068	Prepare colour schemes	4	7
1071	Describe, select, use, and maintain paint rollers	2	8
