Summary of review and consultation process
A review was undertaken of the above qualifications, first registered in 1999 and 2000. With the exception of Ref: 0682 and Ref: 0762 which have not had any enrolments or completions since 2006, these qualifications have not attracted any enrolments and consequently have never been completed.
These qualifications have been confirmed by InfraTrain as no longer required by industry.
Main changes resulting from the review
The following qualifications have been designated expiring without replacement.

Transition
Key to Qualification Review Categories
Category A The qualification is published as a new version with the same NZQF ID |
Changes are made to SSB name, contact details or purpose statement |
No change is made to title, rules or components of the qualification | |
No transition arrangements are required | |
Category B The qualification is published as a new version with the same NZQF ID |
Changes are made to title, rules or components |
The new version of the qualification recognises a similar skill set to that recognised by the previous version | |
The SSB is confident that people awarded the new or previous version are comparable in terms of competence | |
Transition arrangements are required if candidates must gain additional/different credits for the new version | |
Category C A new (replacement) qualification is published with new NZQF ID |
Significant changes are made to the qualification in terms of components, structure, type or level |
The SSB views people with the replacement qualification as being significantly different in terms of competence from those with the replaced qualification | |
Transition arrangements are required | |
Transition may be limited to phase-out dates | |
Category D Qualification will expire. There is no replacement qualification |
Qualification is no longer required by industry |
The qualification is designated as expiring and a last date for meeting the qualification requirements is set |
