The Infrastructure Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published September 2014
Planned review date December 2019
Summary
The review of these unit standards was initiated through their planned review and the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Electrotechnology triggered in 2013.
The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose and relevant to the Electricity Supply industry. 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
· The titles of unit standards 10543 and 20073 have been changed to better reflect the unit standard outcomes.
· The levels of unit standards 10550 and 20063 have been increased.
· The credits of unit standards 10547, 10550, 20061, 20063, 20071, 20072, and 20535 have been adjusted to reflect learning and assessment.
· Changes were made to outcomes, evidence requirements, ranges and/or explanatory notes to ensure delivery and assessment consistency.
· New unit standards 28276, 28277, 28278, 28279, 28280 and 28281 have been developed to meet the industry and qualification graduate profile outcome requirements.
The last date for assessment of superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2016. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.
