Although the National Certificate in Civil Plant Operation (Forest Earthworks) [Ref: 0485] was used by industry, stakeholders expressed dissatisfaction with it in terms of relevance and accessibility. Following exploratory visits and discussions in early 2003 the Forestry Earthworks TAG (Training Advisory Group) was established to review the qualification with a view to its likely replacement by a more relevant set of outcomes, including new unit standards which had been recently registered.
Main changes resulting from the review
TheNational Certificate in Civil Plant Operation (Forest Earthworks) [Ref: 0485] has been replaced by the National Certificate in Civil Construction Works (Forestry Earthworks) [Ref: 1083].
