The Infrastructure Industry Training Organisation has completed the Review of the unit standards listed above. The unit standard in bold has been reinstated and reviewed.
Date new version of report published April 2014
Date new versions published March 2014
Planned review date December 2018
Summary
The review of these unit standards was initiated through their planned review and the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Electrotechnology triggered for 2013.
The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose, relevant to the Electricity Supply Industry and were readily available for assessment. Industry representatives in the TRoQ Review Group were involved in the review and writing of these unit standards and have provided feedback on the versions that were reviewed.
Main changes
· Unit standards 10510, 10518, 10527, 10549, 12298, 16278, 18024 and 18027 have been replaced.
· The titles of unit standards 10511, 10513, 10544, 10545, 12295, 18273, 23896, have been changed to better reflect the unit outcomes.
· The levels of unit standards 12295, 23896 and 23897 have been increased.
· The credits of unit standards 10545, 17027, 17632, 18274 have been adjusted to reflect learning and assessment.
· Changes were made to outcomes, evidence requirements, ranges and/or explanatory notes in unit standards 17027, 17632, 12295, 23896, 23897 to ensure delivery and assessment consistency. This includes changes to unit standard 12295 to reflect its use for both Cable Jointers and Line Mechanics
· Unit standards 28109, 28110, 28113 and 28194 have been listed to meet the industry and qualification graduate profile outcome requirements.
Category C unit standards will expire on 31 December 2016
