The Infrastructure ITO (Connexis) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published May 2016
Planned review date December 2020
Summary
The review of the unit standards listed above is part of the planned review cycle following the targeted review of qualifications administered by the Connexis. This review reflects changes that have occurred within the generic Infrastructure Asset Management sector and the Procurement Procedures sector of the engineering industry.
This extensive review was conducted by the Infrastructure Industry Governance Group and Working Groups who focussed on reviewing unit standards relating to the two new Infrastructure Asset Management qualifications. Stakeholder consultation included industry representatives from employers, Civil Contractors New Zealand, client sector and industry experts.
Each focus group concentrated on making sure that the levels and credits were appropriate and the content of the unit standards was current, relevant, achievable, accurate, and clear. As part of the review, all the unit standards were made available for comment on the Connexis website, and feedback was duly considered.
