Date new versions published                        April 2005

 

The review of these qualifications is planned to take place in 2005

 

Reason for the revision

 

New versions of the qualifications were issued in order to make changes to the purpose statements, as the requirements for registration with the Plumbing, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB) were incorrectly stated.

 

The National Certificate in Plumbing and the National Certificate in Gasfitting also required a change to their requirements, as unit standards 2141 and 2117 are not required by industry.
