Date new versions published                                                          August 2008

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2013.

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

The review of these qualifications was part of a major review of the motor industry and outdoor fabric product qualifications (QReview), which was conducted by MITO from 2004 to 2007.  The entire QReview process was overseen by the QReview Steering Group, which developed review processes and principles to be followed by the Advisory Groups formed for each industry sector, and gave final endorsement to the new and reviewed standards and qualifications.

 

The Steering Group identified the need for a clearer career pathway for people already in, or entering the motor or industrial textile fabrication industries.  This led to a more coherent relationship being formed between all of MITO’s qualifications through the creation of common cores with strands, and separation into a progression of qualification levels to provide a clearer qualification pathway.

 

Advisory Groups made up of industry experts and representative bodies were formed to provide advice on the requirements of each of the industry sectors.  These groups met several times to form the draft qualifications and standards.  The drafts were published on the MITO website and surveys were circulated for comment.  Industry publications and organisations were also used to advise stakeholders of the consultation process.  All relevant feedback was incorporated into the final drafts, which were endorsed by the respective Advisory Groups and the QReview Steering Group.

Transition

 

Programmes leading to the new qualifications are being introduced from 2008.  People currently working towards any of the replaced qualifications may either complete the requirements for that qualification or transfer their results to these qualifications.

 

The last date for entry to training programmes or courses for the replaced qualifications is December 2009.  The last dates for assessments to take place for the replaced qualifications are:

·      National Certificate in Motor Industry (Automotive Air Conditioning) [Ref: 0002], 31 December 2011;

·      National Certificate in Motor Industry (Automotive Machining) [Ref: 0371], 31 December 2012;

·      National Certificate in Motor Industry (Diesel Fuel Injection Engineering) [Ref: 0139], 31 December 2012.

 

Industry will continue to recognise the former qualifications, so there should be no need to ‘upgrade’ by those who have already achieved one.

 

This qualification contains standards that replace or are being used as substitutes for earlier standards.  For the purposes of this qualification people who have gained credit for the expiring standards are exempt from the requirement to gain credit for the replacement or substitute standards.
