The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published April 2010
Planned review date December 2014
Summary
This review took place as part of the scheduled review cycle and also to transfer unit standards relevant to the concrete industry from the Construction Trades subfield to the Concrete subfield, and to new, sector-specific domains within that subfield, as part of a review of the entire suite of BCITO concrete industry qualifications.
Consultation with representatives from eight sectors within the concrete industry took place from January 2008, consisting of concrete construction industry working party meetings to identify relevant skill sets for each sector. These meetings focussed on the unit standards which describe skills related to the concrete construction sector of the industry, and changes to the unit standards were signed off by this industry working party in January 2010.
This review is part of an ongoing process which is intended to be completed by mid-2010, in which all unit standards relevant to the concrete industry within the Construction Trades subfield will be moved to domains within the Concrete subfield, and all concrete industry qualifications will be reviewed and reclassified.
Main changes
· Unit standards from the Construction Trades subfield have been reclassified in the Concrete subfield.
· Changes have been made to special notes, elements, and performance criteria in unit standards 12027, 12041, 12042, and 18513-18515 to better reflect the needs of industry.
· Unit standard 18512 has been replaced by unit standard 26374.
· Five new unit standards, 26375, 26376, 26377, 26378, and 26379 have been developed.
The category C unit standard will expire at the end of December 2011.
