The ElectroTechnology Industry Training Organisation (ETITO) has completed the revision of the unit standards listed above.  The standards have also been rolled over to maintain their currency.

 

Date new versions published                                                          July 2012

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2015

 

Summary

 

The revision was largely driven by the need to amend the unit standards to address the change in Standard Setting Body responsibility from Real ITO to ETITO.  The legislation has been updated, and other minor amendments have been made to address any assessment issues or typographical errors.

 

As the revision was occurring in parallel to the development of New Zealand Certificates in Residential Property Management, begun by Real ITO and concluded by ETITO, it presented the opportunity to address assessment concerns in relation to standards intended to have a relationship to these qualifications.  Content was amended, credit values were corrected where development feedback showed that the credit assigned was too low, and two new unit standards were developed that were required to meet industry outcomes.

 

The change process was supported by industry stakeholders including the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand, the Real Estate Agents Authority, and the Property Institute of New Zealand.
