Summary

 

The standards were reviewed and designated category D expiring in September 2007 and were due to expire in December 2008.  Subsequent to the review of the standards, the National Certificate in Masonry (Bricklaying) with strands in Brick and Block Laying, and Refractory Installation [Ref: 0454] (in which the standards were listed) was designated expiring and replaced.  The last date for assessment to take place for the replaced qualification was 31 December 2010.  In November 2008 the SSB decided to extend the expiry date for the standards to December 2010 to align with the qualification expiry date.

 

Unfortunately, a number of candidates enrolled in this qualification are unable to complete their training and assessment by this date, and need an extension until December 2011.  The expiry date of the standards, and the last date for assessments to take place for the replaced qualification, has been extended to 31 December 2011 so that these candidates can complete the qualification requirements.
