Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
A Maritime Working Group has recently reviewed all the maritime qualifications as a part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications. This group included representatives from industry, all the significant providers and the regulatory authority which is Maritime New Zealand.
This same group has now completed this review/revision of the unit standards which will be used in these qualifications. The main focus of the unit standard review was to ensure the content of the unit standards align to the appropriate International and Maritime New Zealand Competency Frameworks.
The review has resulted in updated outcomes and evidence requirements that reflect both legislative requirements and current industry practice. The review has re-aligned levels to ensure they reflect both job demands and NZQF level descriptors. Credit values have been adjusted up or down to more accurately reflect the actual learning time, based on industry and provider experience in delivering these units over a number of years.
The Working Group has endorsed the changes made to the standards.
Unit standard 8126 was replaced with two new unit standards 29223 and 29224.
Unit standard 15028 was replaced with new unit standard 29225.
Purpose statements, entry requirements, and explanatory notes, were edited to ensure they are consistent and fit for purpose and provide clarity for users.
Outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were edited and in some
cases re-ordered to improve clarity and ensure coverage of required knowledge and skills. In most cases the overall purpose and content was little changed.
New unit standards were written to cover content not covered, or not adequately covered, by existing units.
New unit standards were developed which align specifically to International Maritime Organisation standards. This will ensure New Zealand qualifications are recognised internationally creating clear employment pathways for graduates.
The titles of some standards were amended to reflect changes made.
Credit values were adjusted where necessary to better reflect actual learning times.
