Summary of the review and consultation process
This review took place as part of stakeholder consultation for the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) conducted between 2013 and 2015. The replaced Basic Residential Property Maintenance qualification sat under the coverage of BCITO and is being replaced by a Caretaking qualification, which sits under the coverage of Careerforce, after the caretaking sector confirmed the need for such a qualification.
BCITO and Careerforce have agreed on this way forward.
