The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published July 2016
Planned review date December 2019
Summary
The review of these unit standards was initiated through their planned review and the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Engineering and Technology triggered for 2011.
The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose, relevant to the Electrical Engineering and the Electrotechnology industries and are readily available for assessment. Industry representatives from the TRoQ Review and Qualification Development Groups were involved in the review and writing of these unit standards and provided feedback on them.
Main changes
· Changes were made to accurately reflect industry terminology, practice, and evidence requirements.
· 16 unit standards have been reviewed as Category B.
· Ten unit standards were reviewed as Category C and replaced by seven new units.
· 20 new unit standards were developed.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2021
