Republication of Extractive Industries qualifications
National Certificate in Extractive Industries (Mining Administration Surface Extraction A Grade) (Level 5) [Ref: 1537]
National Diploma in Extractive Industries (Mining Administration) (Level 6) with strands in First Class Mine Manager, and First Class Coal Mine Manager [Ref: 1539]
The NZ Extractive Industries Training Organisation has republished the qualifications listed above to update the transition arrangements in the versions published in March 2010.
Date versions republished September 2010
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2015.
Reason for the republication
The qualifications included standard 25878 which replaced standard 21157 in August 2009. In addition, standard 21157 replaced standard 15661 in January 2005. Industry considered that people with credit for standard 15661 had the knowledge and skills recognised by standard 25878 and requested that an exemption be provided in the qualifications. This would enable candidates currently enrolled in version 1 of the qualifications to complete the requirements without unnecessary repetition of training.
