The New Zealand Painting Contractors
Association of Employers has completed the review of the unit standards listed
above.
Date new versions published
September 2007
Planned review date
December 2012
Summary of review and consultation
process
The brick and
block laying unit standards reached their planned review date in 2001 and needed
to be examined by industry to determine whether they were still fit for purpose
and met the requirements of the new level descriptors.
An Industry
Advisory Group examined the content of the unit standards and agreed that six of
the current unit standards were no longer fit for purpose and would be
designated as expiring, and that a number of the unit standards appeared to be
at variance with the level descriptors in terms of their allocated levels. Consistency and content were also
examined and brought up to date, and gaps in the skills required identified for
the development of three new unit standards.
