National Certificate in Motor Industry (Automotive Specialist Engineering) (Level 3) with strands in Automotive Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning; Automotive Machining; Diesel Fuel Injection; and Motorsport [Ref: 1415]
The NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (Inc.) (MITO) has completed the review of the qualifications listed above.
Replacement qualification (Automotive Maching strand)
New Zealand Certificate in Automotive Machining (Level 4) [Ref: 3522]
New qualification
New Zealand Certificate in Automotive Machining (Level 5) [Ref: 3523]
Date replacement qualifications listed October 2016
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2021.
Between 2013 and 2015, a mandatory sector review of qualifications for the automotive engineering qualifications occurred. The review encompassed broad consultation with industry and training provider stakeholders to ensure that the new qualification meets current and future needs.
The review resulted in a recommendation that the national qualification listed above should be replaced by a New Zealand qualification, in order to continue to meet stakeholder needs.
The replacement New Zealand qualifications have now been listed, and the national qualifications will therefore be phased out.
