Review of Boatbuilding qualification
National Certificate in Boatbuilding (Marine Electrical and Electronic Installation) (Level 3) [Ref: 0930]
The NZ Marine Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the qualification above.
Date new version published November 2010
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2015.
Summary of review and consultation process
The qualification was reviewed to ensure alignment with current industry practice and requirements. The review takes into account that this certificate builds on the technical skills gained in the National Certificate in Electrical Engineering (Level 2) [Ref: 0174].
A Marine Electrical and Electronic advisory group consisting of ETITO and employers currently involved in training candidates and in workplace observation, and NZ Marine ITO assessors was formed. The group looked at fitness for purpose and suitability of current standards and content in a series of meetings and email correspondence. A wider group of stakeholders was consulted through email and discussions and represented via the advisory group members.
Main changes resulting from the review
As part of this review a number of standards have been removed and either substituted or replaced within the qualification as they are considered to be a better fit for purpose.
Some standards have been replaced as they have expired and are no longer relevant.
