The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                        November 2006

 

Planned review date                        December 2011

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

These unit standards were reviewed to incorporate changes overlooked in the previous review (April 2006).  The post-assessment moderation process identified some issues of consistency and difficulty of assessment for standards within the National Certificate in Fibre Cement Linings with strands in Fixing and Finishing [Ref: 0272].  The BCITO moderation team identified quality issues and made recommendations for improvement.  These recommendations were then discussed and approved by a working party consisting of direct representatives from the Fibre Cement Linings industry.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·        Titles of unit standards 6068, 6069, 6076-6078, and 22157 have changed to more accurately reflect the outcomes of the unit standards.

·        Purpose statements have been altered to match the elements and performance criteria.

·        Special notes have had definitions added for clarity, and the 'industry practice' special note has been reworded in unit standards 6072, 6074, 6076, 6077 and 6078, and added to unit standards 6069 and 22157.

·        Performance criteria and range statements have been amended to clarify assessment requirements.

·        The final 'clean up' element has been removed from unit standards 6072, 6074, 6076, 6077 and 6078, as it was considered to be superfluous.  Performance criteria have been reworded to include cleaning up as part of each task.
