Revision of Road Transport Management qualification

 

National Certificate in Road Transport Management (Operations) (Level 4) [Ref: 1209]

 

The New Zealand Road Transport and Logistics Industry Training Organisation has revised the qualification listed above.

 

Date new version published                        October 2006

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2009.

 

Reason for the revision

 

Unit standard 10425 relating to occupational health and safety has been reviewed by the Local Government Industry Training Organisation and placed within the compliance and regulatory context.  It is therefore no longer fit for purpose for the road transport and logistics industry.  The NZ Road Transport and Logistics Industry Training Organisation has therefore developed its own unit standard 22711, which has now been registered on the National Qualifications Framework.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The main change is the replacement of 10425 with 22711.  The opportunity was also taken to incorporate the changes from recent reviews of standards in the Interpersonal Communications, Compliance and Regulatory Control, and Driver Licence Endorsements domains.  Titles, levels, and credits of reviewed standards 9696, 9678, 11095, and 16718 were updated, and standard 22711 replaced standard 10425.

 

Transition

 

Current candidates for the qualification may complete version 1 or transfer to version 2. The last date for completion of version 1 is 31 December 2009.

 

The last date for candidates to enrol in version 1 of the qualification is 31 December 2006.
