Registration of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications unit standards

The Skills Organisation has completed the development of the unit standards for the above classifications.

Date new versions published 16 July 2015

Planned review date 31 December 2020

Summary

As part of the development of the New Zealand Certificate in Telecommunications Level 4 [Ref: 2200], following the Targeted Review of Qualifications within the Telecommunications industry, new unit standards were developed. The consultation included a broad range of participants from industry and training providers. The new unit standards have been aligned to the new qualification. As there is no direct co-relation to the existing unit standards, the existing unit standards will be set to expire under a separate report.

Two of the new unit standards were placed in the domain Electrotechnology to enable broader usage, and extensions were made to consents to assess to mitigate the impact of this.

Main changes

Twenty six new unit standards were developed.
