Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published 19 March 2015
Planned review date 31 December 2020
Summary
The review was carried out to address issues raised in the development of programmes for the pulp and paper qualifications. The consultation included representatives of all pulp and paper manufacturing companies in New Zealand.
The industry has raised their competent operator requirements to Level 4 to reflect the broader responsibilities operators have in this automated industry. Previously, competent operators were recognised at Level 3. Credit values have been revised based on the new flatter work organisation, and reflect increases in time required for additional learning to gain the broader knowledge at this level of competency.
Main changes
· Both unit standards were designated expiring and were replaced by two new standards in the Pulp and Paper Technology domain.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2017
