Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.


Date new versions published 16 April 2015


Planned review date 31 December 2019


Summary


The above unit standards were reviewed alongside the mandatory review of the Glass Container Manufacturing qualifications in response to the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ). The key stakeholder who is also the only user of these unit standards was consulted through review meetings and email correspondence.


With the alignment of standards against the new qualifications, there has been significant change to unit standard credits in order to better reflect the amount of time for learning and assessment to take place. The qualifications no longer include large elective components containing generic units and have a much more technical focus. These changes have reflected in the credit values of the new and reviewed technical unit standards which were also aligned against updated training requirements of the key stakeholder. The level of some unit standards has also increased, in alignment with the NZQA Level Descriptors.
