The Forest Industries Training and Education Council (FITEC) has completed the reinstatement of the unit standards listed above and extended their expiry date from 31 December 2010 to 31 December 2011.

 

Date new versions published                                                          July 2011

 

Summary

 

In 2006, these unit standards were reviewed and designated as expiring on 31 December 2010.  In 2007, the National Certificate in Timber Machining (Size and Gauge) (Level 3) [Ref: 0812] was also designated as expiring.  The last date for the assessment of versions 3 and 4 of this qualification was set at 31 December 2011. 

 

Because these unit standards are included in the Compulsory section of this qualification, the inconsistency between the unit standards' expiry date and the last date for the assessment of versions 3 and 4 was identified as a barrier to the completion of versions 3 and 4 of the qualification.

 

Unit standards 135 and 161 were therefore reinstated to align their expiry date with the last date for the assessment of versions 3 and 4 of the qualification.
