The ElectroTechnology Industry Training Organisation (ETITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published April 2011
Planned review date December 2012
Summary
The 2009 industry consultation group, established for the review of the electronics technology unit standards contained in the National Certificate in Electronics Technology (Level 3) [Ref: 1005], regrouped in 2010 to add excellence grades to the unit standards. The group included representatives from University of Canterbury, CPIT, Orion Group, Eaton Power Quality Systems, Enatel Ltd, Electroflash Resourcing Ltd, Riccarton High School, and ETITO.
The grades were added because a need emerged to ensure a smooth transition to a wide range of tertiary programmes ranging from apprenticeships to engineering degrees. This was achieved by the inclusion of grades in the standards to enable the reporting of appropriate outcomes to both the students and to the institutions to which they transition.
Drafts of the reviewed unit standards were circulated to a wider industry group which also included accredited training providers and schools, for comment. The wider group included representatives from Synapsys Ltd, Riccarton High School, Electroflash Resourcing Ltd, Shirley Boys High School, Papanui High School, Christchurch Boys High School, Canterbury ICT Cluster, Hamilton Boys High School, and ETITO. The feedback was considered by the consultation group and represented in the reviewed unit standards, which were endorsed by the consultation group and industry before submission to NZQA for registration.
The review of these unit standards ensures that they meet industry requirements, are fit for purpose, and enable consistent assessment and moderation.
Main changes
An Excellence grade was included in all the unit standards.
