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


Date new versions published October 2015


Planned review date December 2020


Summary


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.
