The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above that were registered in May 1999.
Date report published October 2005
Summary of review and consultation process
In response to industry requirements and an approach by Housing NZ and WINZ, BCITO intends to create a new strand covering basic residential property maintenance that will be added to the National Certificate in Elementary Construction Skills [Ref: 0751]. In order for the strand to comprehensively cover the skills required for basic residential property maintenance as requested by industry while avoiding overlap, it was necessary to add some additional skills to the two unit standards listed above, necessitating a review.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Unit standard 12934 was replaced by unit standard 22129, and unit standard 12940 was replaced by unit standard 22130.
· Unit standard 22129 has had elements added covering gates, maintenance and completing work operations.
· Special notes of 22130 reflect changes in the elements and performance criteria.
· Titles, purpose statements, elements and performance criteria reflect the new content and context.
· Credits of both unit standards have increased to reflect the updated content.
· Additional unit standards have also been developed for the residential property maintenance sector.
Unit standards categorised as category C expire at the end of December 2008.
