The NZ Extractive Industries Training Organisation (EXITO) has completed the review of the standards listed above.
Date new versions published September 2010
Planned review date December 2013
Summary
SkillsDMC, the Australian National Industry Skills Council for the Resources and Infrastructure sectors (which include drilling, mining, quarrying, and civil infrastructure), recently reviewed its Training Packages and related Units of Competency.
As a result, the MNM05 Metalliferous Mining Training Package was replaced with the RII09 Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package, and changes were made to the Units of Competency that form the basis of these Metalliferous Mining standards. EXITO therefore completed a parallel review of these standards to align them with the reviewed Australian Units of Competency.
As part of the review process, representatives from the metalliferous mining sector considered:
· the currency of the Australian Units of Competency, and their suitability for existing and future national qualifications in New Zealand
· the appropriateness of their content to the New Zealand context
· whether levels and credit values were commensurate with performance outcomes and the time required to learn and demonstrate competence in the skills and knowledge described in the standards
· the assessability of the Australian Units of Competency.
Main changes
· All of the standards from the Metalliferous Mining - Management domain were moved to the newly registered Metalliferous Mining - Operations domain, because this domain more accurately reflects their content.
· Standards 24477, 24486, and 24490 were moved from the Surface Metalliferous Mining domain to the newly registered Metalliferous Mining - Operations domain, because this domain more accurately reflects their content.
· Standards 24474-24476, 24478-24485, and 24487 were moved from the Surface Metalliferous Mining domain to the newly registered Metalliferous Mining - Processing domain, as it more accurately reflects their content.
· Standard 24491 was moved from the Surface Metalliferous Mining domain, where it had been incorrectly registered, to the Underground Metalliferous Mining domain.
· Standard 24465 was replaced by standard 26550 to reflect the significant change in content of its matching Australian Unit of Competency.
· Standard 24489 was designated expiring as it is not considered relevant to the New Zealand context.
· The titles of standards 24464, 24466, 24471, 24474-24484, 24486, 24487, 24490, and 24491 were updated.
· The credit values of standards 24469, 24470, 24472-24474, 24476, 24480-24486, 24490, 24491, 24496, 24497, and 24499 were increased.
· The level of standard 24491 was increased to Level 3 to align with its matching Australian Unit of Competency, as its outcomes align with the Level 3 NZQF descriptors.
· Purpose statements were updated to reflect the changes to the reviewed Australian Units of Competency.
· The special notes and definitions in some of the coversheets were updated to ensure that they are up-to-date and that they reflect the requirements of industry and the changes to the Australian Units of Competency.
· The references in the cover sheets to Australian Units of Competency and the reviewed training package were updated.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2012
Impact on registered qualifications
