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

 

Date new versions published                                                          October 2016

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2021

 

Summary

 

The unit standards were reviewed to align with the recently registered New Zealand Certificates in Mechanical Engineering and to meet Competenz s ongoing unit standard review schedule.

 

The review was carried out in consultation with mechanical engineering industry technical experts and the changes were endorsed by the industry technical group.

 

Main changes

 

·         Changes were made to outcome statements, evidence requirements, and range statements to clarify assessment requirements, ensure alignment with current industry requirements, and to correct grammatical errors.

·         14 low use unit standards have been set to expire without replacement.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2016

 

The last date of assessment for the most recent superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2021
