InfraTrain New Zealand has revised the unit standard above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          November 2007

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2011

 

Reason for the revision

 

It was noted that there was a mismatch between the accreditation statement on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP) 0101 and that on the standard listed above.  The unit standard has been amended to match the AMAP.

 

The planned review date has been extended to fit with the ITO review plan, and maintain the credit worthiness of the standard to allow candidates to complete the associated qualifications.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

·         The accreditation statement has been changed as follows:

From

Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA, industry and teaching professional in the same field from another provider.

To

Evaluation of documentation and visit by NZQA and industry.

·         The standard has been moved to the new Infrastructure Asset Management domain, which is replacing the Civil Engineering - Asset Management domain.  Both domains are in the same subfield.

·         The planned review date has been extended to December 2011.

·         The opportunity was taken to update the Building Act 1991 to Building Act 2004; and correct minor grammatical errors.

 

Impact on existing provider accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

AMAP 0101 will be updated to show the new classification of the standard.

 

Impact on existing qualifications

 

The following InfraTrain New Zealand qualification is not materially affected by the change to the classification of 17300.  The qualification, which lists the standard in its compulsory set, will be updated when it is next reviewed.
