Summary

 

The Joinery ITO has extended the expiry date for the three unit standards listed above to allow existing trainees for superseded versions of Architectural Aluminium Joinery qualifications the opportunity to complete.

 

The last date to complete assessments for version 1 of the National Certificate in Architectural Aluminium Joinery (Level 2) [Ref: 0765] (now the National Certificate in Architectural Aluminium Joinery (Entry Skills) (Level 2) [Ref: 0765]) and version 1 of the National Certificate in Architectural Aluminium Joinery (Level 3) [Ref: 0766] (now the National Certificate in Architectural Aluminium Joinery (Assembly and Glazing) (Level 3) with an optional strand in Cutting and Machining [Ref: 0766]) was 31 December 2009.  This date has been extended to 31 December 2011.

 

Extending the expiry date for the unit standards will mean existing trainees for version 1 of both qualifications may complete the qualification they started, rather than having to transfer to version 2, which is significantly different.

 

Main changes

 

The expiry date of the unit standards has been extended to 31 December 2011.

 

The Registration Criteria for National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Unit Standards have been reviewed and replaced with the Quality assurance criteria for the listing of unit standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards.  The changes made to the criteria during this review reflect the replacement of the NQF and the Register with the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) and the Directory of Assessment Standards, the inclusion of criteria for grades, and changes to terminology and format of unit standards.  The main changes to terminology are that:

• Special Notes were renamed Explanatory notes
• Elements were renamed Outcomes
• Performance Criteria were renamed Evidence requirements.

 

The unit standards covered by this report have been published in the new format.

 

Impact on existing accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

None.

 

Impact on registered qualifications
