InfraTrain New Zealand has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published February 2011
Planned review date December 2015
Summary
The planned review of the National Certificate in Civil Infrastructure (General Introductory Skills) [Ref: 1125] (GIS) required detailed consideration of the unit standards in the domains listed in the qualification in order to address overlaps between this qualification and other InfraTrain qualifications.
In conjunction with a review of the National Certificate in Civil Construction Supervision (Level 4) [Ref: 1324] and the National Certificate in Civil Plant Management [Ref: 0253] the infrastructure works industry redefined the industry career pathways, which led to a significant change in the classification system. The changes to subfield and domain names have impacted on all industry qualifications and unit standards. InfraTrain is managing the transfer of unit standards to new subfields and domains in stages over the next few years as the standards are required for qualification reviews. This review is one part of that process.
To ensure that all sectors of the industry participated in the reviews of these qualifications that are generic to the infrastructure industry, InfraTrain established an industry advisory group comprising representatives of all sectors and major stakeholders including: large, medium, and small companies in the industry; trainers; assessors; moderators; and training advisors. This Industry Advisory Group (IAG) met in August 2009 to establish the strategic outcomes of the review. Separate writing groups were given the task of reviewing the introductory and supervisory qualifications and the unit standards in them that were no longer fit for purpose. Each writing group contained a representative from the IAG to coordinate the reviews. Wider industry stakeholders were kept updated through the ITO's website and electronically, and were encouraged to provide feedback.
The GIS writing group met in late August 2009 to determine the qualification requirements, which were distributed widely for feedback and approved by the IAG in December 2009. In general, unit standards contained in the qualification in question were reviewed, however in some cases unit standard reviews were deferred for consideration as part of another qualification review more appropriate for these unit standards.
In January 2010 the GIS writing group met to review the selected unit standards, which were also distributed widely for comment, amended as required, and then updated to reflect the classification changes. A third writing group undertook a review of unit standard 20875 in conjunction with EXITO's review of the closely related unit standard 17695.
The outcomes of the reviews of the introductory qualification and the unit standards in it were endorsed by members of the IAG in July 2010.
Main changes
· All standards were transferred to new Infrastructure Works domains.
· All titles were amended to reference the new domains and align with content.
· Levels of standards 20875 and 22283 were amended to reflect the degree of applied knowledge.
· Credits for standards 20874 and 22290 were increased to reflect learning and assessment requirements.
· Standard 6457 was separated into two new standards to recognise different outcomes.
· Two new unit standards were written to cover knowledge and skills required at introductory level in the infrastructure industry.
· Higher level prerequisite standard 6479 was removed from entry requirements for standard 6485.
· Purpose statements were updated to match outcomes.
· Explanatory notes were updated and amended to assist interpretation of the standards.
· Outcomes were amended to align with the standard title and content.
· Evidence requirements and range statements were amended to clarify the quality of evidence required.
· Last dates for assessment were added for superseded versions of standards 6479, 6485, 20875, 22283, and 22290.
The Category C unit standard will expire at the end of December 2012
