Review of Joinery qualification

 

National Certificate in Joinery (Aluminium Fabrication) [Ref: 0389]

 

The Joinery Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the qualification above.

 

Date new version published                                                             November 2010

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

To clear up a historical anomaly, Competenz agreed to transfer responsibility for the Architectural Aluminium Joinery domain to the Joinery Industry Training Organisation as it is more appropriate to their area of standard setting responsibility.

 

As part of the transfer of responsibility it was noted that the qualification above was already registered by the Joinery Industry Training Organisation but had not had support from industry.  The sector had not considered the qualification fit for purpose and, instead, had been using the qualifications developed by Competenz in the architectural aluminium joinery area, meaning the qualification had never been awarded.  For this reason this qualification has been designated expiring without replacement.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

The qualification has been designated expiring and will not be replaced.

Transition

 

The SSB is confident that there are no candidates enrolled in courses or training leading to this qualification so there are no transition implications.  In addition, the qualification is not achievable and will therefore expire in December 2010.

 

If there are any candidates who think they have been disadvantaged by these arrangements they should, in the first instance, contact the Joinery Industry Training Organisation (contact details below).
