Competenz has completed the rollover of the unit standards listed above.  The standards in bold have also been revised.

 

Date new versions published                                                          March 2010

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2015

 

Summary

 

These standards had planned review dates of December 2009, 2010, and 2013.  They are primarily used in the National Diploma in Engineering (Level 6) with strands in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, and Mechanical Services, and with an optional strand in Practical Endorsement [Ref: 0534].  However, recent developments towards a unified New Zealand Diploma in Engineering system (NZDE) could make some of these standards and the National Diploma redundant.

 

The diploma system includes the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (NZDE) and the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering Practice (NZDEP).  Delivery of the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering is scheduled to begin in February 2011.  No comments have been received from users of the standards and some have never been used.  Therefore, Competenz has decided to delay the review of the standards and the National Diploma until the impact of the introduction of NZDE can be assessed.

 

Main changes

 

·      Scheduled planned review for 2015.

·      Minor edits to unit standard ranges, entry information, and special notes for accuracy and consistency.

·      Corrections and amendments to references.

·      Corrections to entry information.

 

There are no impacts on accreditations, Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP) or registered qualifications.
