Rationale for the change

 

In February 2011, after the dissolution of the Creative Trades Industry Training Organisation, the responsibility for the painting and decorating sector was transferred to the Flooring Industry Training Organisation.  This required the transfer of responsibility for the standards and qualification above and changes to the classification system to support this transfer.

 

Outline of main changes

 

Qualification

 

The qualification has been reviewed and designated expiring as it is not considered appropriate for industry's needs in its current format.  A new qualification has been developed to take its place - see details in Review of Painting qualification section below.

 

Unit Standards

 

The unit standards have been reviewed and amended to show the new ITO responsibility and published as new versions - see details in Review of Core Construction and Painting and Decorating unit standards section below.

 

Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)

 

The unit standards have been transferred from CMR 0066 to CMR 0175.

 

Review of Painting qualification

The Flooring Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the qualification above.

 

Replacement qualification

 

National Certificate in Painting and Decorating (Level 4) [Ref: 1696]

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

As part of the change of standard setting responsibility from the Creative Trades Industry Training Organisation to the Flooring Industry Training Organisation, the qualification listed above was transferred and the Painting and Decorating domain was moved from the Decorative Fixture and Fittings subfield to the Construction Trades subfield. 

 

In March 2011 the Painting and Decorating Advisory Group was convened to examine the current qualification in light of the changes made to the unit standards.  The qualification was considered no longer fit for purpose in its current format and a replacement qualification was developed.  This was endorsed by the Advisory Group in April 2011.  Standard Setting Body details were also amended on the qualification.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

The National Certificate in Painting with optional strands in Wall Coverings, Spray Techniques, Specialist Coatings, and Industrial Coatings [Ref: 1071] has been replaced with a new qualification.

Review category

C

See Key to Qualification Review Categories at the end of report

 

This qualification replaced the National Certificate in National Certificate in Painting with optional strands in Wall Coverings, Spray Techniques, Specialised Coatings, and Industrial Coatings [Ref: 1071].

 

There are significant differences in content and structure between the new and replaced qualification.

 

Transition

 

Candidates who have started the National Certificate in Painting with optional strands in Wall Coverings, Spray Techniques, Specialised Coatings, and Industrial Coatings [Ref: 1071] can complete the qualification.

 

Candidates who are part way through the replaced qualification as at December 2014 will need to transfer their existing achievements towards this qualification.

 

This qualification contains unit standards that replaced earlier standards.  For the purposes of this qualification, people who have gained credit for the expired standards are exempt from the requirement to gain credit for replacement standards - see table below.

The Flooring Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Summary

 

As part of the change of standard setting responsibility from the Creative Trades Industry Training Organisation to the Flooring Industry Training Organisation, the unit standards listed above were transferred and the Painting and Decorating domain was moved from the Decorative Fixture and Fittings subfield to the Construction Trades subfield. 

 

In March 2011 the Painting and Decorating Advisory Group was convened to examine the unit standards that had been developed by the Creative Trades Industry Training Organisation to replace the existing painting and decorating unit standards.  These were examined in depth and some changes were made to make them more relevant to current industry practice.

 

Main changes

 

·      Standard Setting Body details were updated to reflect the change of standard setting responsibility.

·      CMR (previously Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan [AMAP]) details were amended.

·      Unit standards were reclassified to reflect the changes to subfield and domains.

·      Painting and Decorating

o       Sixteen unit standards were developed to replace twenty-five unit standards that were designated expiring.

o       Seven completely new unit standards were developed to address gaps identified in the review process.

o       Three new unit standards were developed to address identified gaps.

o       Unit standard 2825 was designated expiring without replacement.

o       Six unit standards were reviewed and retained with some changes to titles, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements and ranges for clarity and consistency.

o       A last date for assessment of superseded versions of the unit standards was set of 31 December 2012.

·      Core Construction

o       Six new unit standards have replaced the Australian coversheets.

o       Unit standard 26479 has been replaced by unit standard 27376, which has an additional outcome as well as an increase in level and credits to reflect increased skill requirements.

o       Credits have been increased on some standards to reflect an additional evidence requirement to ensure consistency of performance.

o       Unit standards have been amended to reflect the requirements of the painting and decorating sector.

 

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2014
