The NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Incorporated) (MITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.


Date new versions published 16 April 2015


Planned review date 31 December 2019


Summary


This review of unit standards was conducted in conjunction with the mandatory review of protective coatings qualifications. The Blaster Coating Operations and Protective Coating domains in the Blaster Coating subfield were replaced by the Protective Coatings domain in the Industrial Coating subfield. New unit standards were developed to meet industry need and existing unit standards in the Blaster Coating subfield were reviewed.
