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


Date new versions published October 2015


Planned review date 31 December 2020


Summary


The unit standards were reviewed alongside the mandatory review of the Paint Manufacturing qualifications, which is part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications for the Manufacturing sector.


With the alignment of standards against the new qualifications, there has been significant change to unit standard credits in order to more correctly reflect the amount of time for learning and assessment to take place. These changes have been endorsed by a representative of the New Zealand Paint Manufacturers Association Inc.
