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

 

Date new versions published                                                          December 2015

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2020

 

Summary

 

The review was carried out following the review and endorsement of the Australian standards in April 2012. The New Zealand industry took part in the review of the Australian standards in 2011 and early 2012.  New standards relevant to the industry in New Zealand have been added as part of this review.  These were identified and developed in the joint review in 2011 of the Australian standards.

 

The New Zealand review of standards was superseded by the Targeted Review of Qualifications review of the Competitive Manufacturing qualifications through 2013 and 2014.  The qualification review has confirmed the Australian standards are fit for purpose and will be used in the development of programmes toward the new Competitive Systems and Practices qualifications in New Zealand.

 

The New Zealand industry has adopted the new title for the qualifications and standards, to continue the clear Trans-Tasman relationship between these standards and qualifications and their Australian counterparts.

 

These units will be registered under the Competitive Systems and Practices domain.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standards had credit changes to reflect the increased time taken for learners to achieve the competency.

·      Unit standards had the level raised to reflect the breadth of knowledge required.

·      CMR linked to these standards has been changed to CMR 0013 as this meets requirements and provides consistency across the Manufacturing Skills subfield.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2018
