The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2010
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
This review took place as part of the scheduled review of the National Certificate in Frame and Truss Manufacturing (Level 3) with strands in Frame Manufacture, and Truss Manufacture [Ref: 1124] which includes these unit standards. Feedback was sought from industry representatives in the form of a series of Industry Working Party meetings.
At these meetings, industry representatives decided that the skills and knowledge involved in frame manufacture and truss manufacture are transferable and that people working in the frame and truss manufacturing industry learn to manufacture both frames and trusses as part of their day-to-day work, and will sometimes manufacture frames and trusses from materials other than timber. As a result, the unit standards duplicating these skills and knowledge have been replaced by a newly developed unit standard in order to simplify assessment and recognise transferable skills.
The remainder of these unit standards were updated to meet industry requirements. One unit standard was designated expiring because it no longer met industry requirements; and two new unit standards were developed to meet an identified requirement for assessment of the knowledge and skills related to setting out and assembling wall frames and roof trusses.
Main changes
· Unit standards 21009 and 21013 were replaced by newly developed unit standard 26883.
· Unit standards 21010 and 21014 were replaced by newly developed unit standard 26884.
· The titles of unit standards 21004, 21006, 21007, 21008, and 21011 were updated.
· The level of unit standard 21004 increased from 2 to 3 to reflect the required level of skill and responsibility.
· The credit value of unit standard 21011 increased from 9 to 12, because industry representatives advised that 9 credits were insufficient for the time required for learning and assessment.
· Explanatory notes, outcome statements, and evidence requirements were updated to improve assessability and consistency.
· Unit standard 21012 was designated expiring and will not be replaced.
· Two new unit standards, 26885 and 26886, were developed.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2012.
