The ElectroTechnology Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2010
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
Between 2008 and 2010, ETITO undertook extensive consultation with industry representatives, the New Zealand Security Association (NZSA), and the Security Industry Training Advisory Board (SITAB).
ETITO invited tertiary education organisations who were current providers, and also those who had delivered programs in the past. Also the industry training advisory board [SITAB] sat on the consultation group and they also have training providers who are part of that organisation whom they would have consulted with.
During the review, consideration was given to technology and equipment advancements, industry best practice and requirements, and changes in legislation.
Main changes
· Changes were made to the explanatory notes, outcomes, and evidence requirements in unit standards 5880-5884, 5886, and 5890-5893 to better reflect the needs of industry.
· Unit standard 5884 was expired as no longer fit for purpose.
· Unit standard 26841 replaced unit standard 5883.
· New unit standards 26839 and 26840 were developed.
· Titles of unit standards 5881, 5890, 5891, and 5892 were changed to better reflect their content.
· Credit value for unit standard 5880 was reduced to three from four credits.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
